Jewish Life in Munich
Jews have been part of Munich life since medieval
times. In 1882, the Bavarian king Ludwig II granted the Jewish community a site
in the town center, so that they could erect their new
central synagogue.
For the German Jews, the Nazi regime meant discrimination, calumny, deportation
and extermination. However, since World War II, the Jews have slowly but surely returned to Munich. The
construction of the Jewish Center on the Jakobsplatz will secure the Jewish community
a place in the heart of the city.
