[fällt leider aus!] Online-Talk: Die Domus Judaeorum in Schwäbisch Gmünd – Ein Blick auf 800 Jahre Nutzungs- und Umnutzungsgeschichte by Simon Paulus (in German)

July 1, 2025 18:00 CET, Universität Tübingen, Institut für Geschichtliche Landeskunde und Historische Hilfswissenschaften, Hegelbau (Wilhelmstr. 36) Raum 405 and via zoom

In its almost 800-year history, the building at Imhofstraße 9 in Schwäbisch Gmünd has been home to a wide variety of residents and experienced many different uses. Until renovation work began in 2014, it was considered an old but rather inconspicuous building in the town, and it was only when significant structural remains from the 13th and 14th centuries were uncovered that its former significance for the town’s history came back into focus. Since then, structural research on the building and archival research have continued to bring new findings to light, while at the same time efforts are being made to ensure that the building is used in a sustainable manner in keeping with its listed status. The lecture will present these current findings and developments and link them to the question of what potential the building could have not only as a testimony to medieval Jewish culture and history, but also as a living stone historical testimony in general for the communication and discussion of social developments, questions of perception and phenomena of the present.
