Event location: Bunker at Friedberger Anlage, Friedberger Anlage 5/6, 60314 Frankfurt am Main
In 1895, Frankfurt’s Ostend district had the highest percentage of Jewish residents of any district of Frankfurt – 45%. Many of them were immigrants from eastern Europe. Frankfurt’s largest synagogue was consecrated on Friedberger Anlage in 1907. There were social and religious institutions such as Torah schools, soup kitchens, hospitals, and kindergartens. The Ostend district was a place of refuge for Jewish people from the area around Frankfurt during the Nazi period. The wholesale market, or Großmarkthalle, served as a mass deportation center in 1941/1942. After the war, Jewish life slowly began to take root again in Ostend.
The exhibition "East End. Taking a Look into a Jewish Quarter", housed in a bunker from World War II, highlights this history.
