German
On the occasion of the Open Monument Day on Sunday, September 13, 2026, the documentation room on Jewish history in Rastatt in the Kantorenhaus can be visited from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m.
The exhibition room documents the history of Rastatt's Jewish community with a focus on the period after 1900. Among other things, there is a topographical overview of the houses and properties of Jewish owners in the town. It illustrates the natural coexistence of Jewish and non-Jewish citizens up until the late 1920s. However, the exhibition also addresses the discrimination, agitation and the tragic events of the deportation and extermination of the Jewish community during the National Socialist era.
The teacher and cantor of the Jewish community lived in the cantor's house, which was built in 1906 together with the neighboring synagogue. Unlike the synagogue, the neat Art Nouveau building designed by architect Ludwig Levi was spared the destruction of 1938. It was extensively renovated in 2010 and the documentation room was set up.
Admission is free. Contact persons will be available to answer questions and provide information on site.
