Overview

This tour shows the development of the well-known Prague Jewish community from the time of the Enlightenment at the end of the 18th century, their advancement in industry, art and literature and finally also in the civil service, their large part in the development of Bohemia into an industrial superpower, the training of the Prague Zionism in the face of growing anti-Semitism towards the end of the 19th century and its fate after 1938, the occupation by Nazi Germany. One of the main themes is the phenomenon of Prague German literature, a unique development in a language island that produced world-renowned writers in the early 20th century who are largely forgotten today. The only exceptions are e.g. Kafka, Werfel, Kisch or Brod.

Spanish Synagogue, Jewish Museum in Prague

The Spanish Synagogue is also the headquarters of the Jewish Museum. Numerous documents clearly show the process of Jewish emancipation and the rise of the Jewish bourgeoisie.
Staromestske namesti

The Old Town Square, the city center, was also the residence of the Kafkas, the Berta Fanta salon important for the development of Prague Zionism, and generally the center of Prague's largely German-acculturated Jewish community
Café Louvre

The café was also the seat of the Prague Academy discussion group. Franz Kafka and Max Brod attended, and nearby was the Reading and Speech Hall of German Students, an institution largely shaped by Prague Jewish intellectualism.
New Jewish Cemetery
