LVR-Jewish Museum in the Archeological Quarter in Cologne – An Overview MiQua from Obenmarspforten (simulation). © Wandel Lorch Architekten Name & Purpose A new museum of international significance is currently being built in Cologne at the heart of the city centre: MiQua. LVR-Jewish Museum in the Archeological Quarter in Cologne. The name MiQua is short for “Museum in the Quarter” and it refers to the 6,000 m2 of excavation work taking place right underneath the town hall square in the city’s Archaeological Quarter. More than two thousand years of Cologne’s history have come to light here – first in 1953, then more intensively from the 1990s onwards and above all after 2007 – from the monumental Praetorium where the Roman governor once resided to the medieval Jewish Quarter and the Christian Goldsmiths’ Quarter. Above these archaeological monuments, a new museum building will house exhibitions both permanent and temporary, offering insights into the archaeology below ground, including the medieval Synagogue and the ritual Jewish bath, the Mikveh, which is also reflected in the name MiQua. Owner & Operator In 2013 the Rhineland Regional Council (LVR) and the City of Cologne signed a framework agreement to implement the museum project. The City of Cologne is the developer and owner of the museum and archaeological monuments and is responsible for constructing and equipping the museum, maintaining the building and carrying out the excavations. The archaeological input is provided by “Archäologische Zone”, a direct works department run by the city council, and the Romano-Germanic Museum/Department of Archaeological Monument Conservation, which are city council institutions. The State of North Rhine-Westphalia has contributed funds towards the construction costs. The LVR is drawing up the conceptual blueprint for the museum and its operations. After the handover, scheduled for late 2024, the LVR will become the operator and will run the museum as an independent agency. A six-month test phase is envisaged prior to the official opening. The City of Cologne reports on building costs, cost movements and the precise timeline. However, the Praetorium and the museum’s education center can be used by the MiQua from 2021. The two locations as well as the underground area of the museum under the ceiling field in front of the Wallraf-Richartz-Museum & Fondation Corboud, will host events in 2021 on the occasion of the nationwide festive year "1700 years of Jewish life in Germany".

A 600-metre monument!” tour under the town hall square will guide visitors through 6,000 m2 of exhibition space, integrating numerous original features with some of the most significant archaeological finds from two thousand years of history in the city of Cologne and the Rhineland: Roman history from the 1st to the 4th century, Jewish history from the 11th to the early 15th century and again from the 19th to the 20th century, and medieval and early modern urban history from the 7th to the 20th century. The archaeological remains of the Praetorium – the governor’s palace and the centre of Roman rule on the Rhine – are unmatched in size and condition, having been preserved underneath the fabric of a big, modern city as it evolved above ground. Equally outstanding are the relics of the Jewish Quarter with its Synagogue and ritual bath, the Mikveh, dating from the 11th and 12th centuries, together with other residential and communal buildings, not least a hospital and dance hall. In no other German town has a medieval Jewish Quarter of such magnitude survived. Thanks to these archaeological finds and features and the few written sources, the first section of the permanent exhibition will facilitate an uncommonly well-researched and complete presentation of German Jewish history in the Middle Ages. This has rarely been highlighted by museums to date and constitutes a ground-breaking conceptual emphasis. Panoramic view (fisheye lens) of the excavations led by Dr Marcus Trier in 2013.

The new building has no interior supports: its glazed load-bearing structure encases plenums, enabling air to circulate over the excavations while permitting multiple views from the upper exhibition levels onto the archaeological features below. In addition, the upper level contains spaces for events and for permanent and special exhibitions to complement and enrich the content of the museum. The history of Jews in Cologne from the 15th century “Jewish history is onwards is reflected in the second section of the permanent part of universal exhibition in the new museum building, where the history.” narrative continues into the present. It is embedded within the historical context of the city as a whole and also within German Jewish and European Jewish history. This methodology has been adopted by historiographers for many decades: Jewish history is not studied in isolation but as an integral part of universal history. MiQua offers tremendous potential to share this research approach with the broader public. The Jews and Christians of Cologne often crossed paths in their everyday lives, as the written and material sources vividly illustrate. Together, for example, they defended the town wall around Cologne, and for a while they shared the use of the butchers’ row on the old marketplace. With many exhibits it is impossible to tell whether they originated from a Jewish or a non-Jewish household. This exhibition has the potential to dispel age-old clichés, some of which still persist today. The question of cultural identity runs like a thread through every section of the permanent exhibition, and a versatile picture emerges. The guiding principle, both along the archaeological tour and in the period-based displays in the new building, is to narrate Jewish history and culture from multiple perspectives and through people who set their stamp on urban life in Cologne. The museum draws life from the very place Archaeological tour of the Jewish Quarter, arriving at the Synagogue where it is located. Two thousand (simulation). © Wandel Lorch Architekten years of European history can be observed and experienced here. MiQua will be a forum for collecting, studying and spreading knowledge about history and culture. The aim is not simply to showcase existing items, but to illustrate how people in different times and with different interests organised their lives within society, and how the various stakeholders co-existed side by side with all their similarities and differences. History is the springboard for references to our own day, revealing both change and continuity. Archaeology operates here like an open book setting out two thousand years of history. MiQua.

  • Developing Concepts at Amsterdam's Jewish Historical Museum
    STUDIA ROSENTHALIANA 45 (2014), 37-55 doi: 10.2143/SR.45.0.3021380 Developing Concepts at Amsterdam’s Jewish Historical Museum HETTY BERG N FEBRUARY 2007, seventy-five years after Amsterdam’s Jewish I Historical Museum first opened to the public in 1932, the museum completed an extensive programme of reconstruction and refurbishing. New public facilities were put in place as well as new temporary exhibi- tion spaces and a children’s museum, while all the permanent displays were completely overhauled. As project leader in charge of this renewal, one aspect that I found particularly intriguing was how the motivation of those involved in the current process compared to the motivation of those involved with the founding of the museum in 1930 and its devel- opment in the intervening years. Our museum is one of Europe’s oldest Jewish museums, having been founded as an institution eighty years ago. It is therefore interesting to compare the development of thinking at the museum: the ideas that motivated its founders; those who strug- gled to re-establish the museum after the war; the staff who expanded the museum in the Weigh House; the team that created the new museum in its new setting in 1987; and those who made the current renewal possible. How have their goals and visions developed? People who make exhibitions and museums make choices, they attribute value and significance and set priorities which they pass on to society through their presentations. They decide what they consider relevant from a social, political and cultural perspective.1 How has this evolved over the years at Amsterdam’s Jewish Historical Museum? How is this reflected 1.

  • Cologne Cathedral
    Arnold Wol Cologne Cathedral Its History – Its Artworks Edited and extended by Barbara Schock-Werner About this Cathedral Guide Arnold Wol, who was ‘Dombaumeister’ (cathedral architect) at Cologne Cathedral between 1972 and 1998, created this guide in collaboration with Greven Verlag, Cologne. His wealth of knowledge on the history of the cathedral and his profound knowledge of the interior have both gone into this book, and there are no other publications that do justice to both of these aspects in equal measure. is book presents the reader with the full spectrum and signicance of the architectural and artistic creations that Cologne Cathedral has on oer. In addition, the fold-out oor plan is a useful orientation aid that allows cathedral visitors to search for informa- tion on individual objects. Six editions of this book have now been published. Arnold Wol has overseen all of them. For this new edition he has tasked me with bringing the text up to date in line with the latest research and introducing the new- ly added artworks. e publisher has taken this opportunity to implement a new layout as well. Nevertheless, for me this guide remains rmly linked with the name of the great ‘Dombaumeister’ Arnold Wol. Barbara Schock-Werner Former Dombaumeister (1999–2012) Hint for using this guide: in the text that follows, the architectural features are labelled with capital letters, the furnishings, fittings, artworks, and other interesting objects with numbers. The letters and numbers correspond to those on the fold-out floor plan at the back. The tour starts on page 10.

    THE EARLY MEDIEVAL NORTH ATLANTIC Huffman The Imperial City of Cologne Joseph P. Huffman The Imperial City of Cologne From Roman Colony to Medieval Metropolis (19 B.C.-1125 A.D.) The Imperial City of Cologne The Early Medieval North Atlantic This series provides a publishing platform for research on the history, cultures, and societies that laced the North Sea from the Migration Period at the twilight of the Roman Empire to the eleventh century. The point of departure for this series is the commitment to regarding the North Atlantic as a centre, rather than a periphery, thus connecting the histories of peoples and communities traditionally treated in isolation: Anglo- Saxons, Scandinavians / Vikings, Celtic communities, Baltic communities, the Franks, etc. From this perspective new insights can be made into processes of transformation, economic and cultural exchange, the formation of identities, etc. It also allows for the inclusion of more distant cultures – such as Greenland, North America, and Russia – which are of increasing interest to scholars in this research context.

Among other activities, members would gather in the evenings and take trips on the weekends; some members also assaulted Hitler Youth patrols and distributed Allied propaganda. For years, scholars and other authorities have debated whether the Edelweiss Pirates should be categorized as anti-Nazi resisters or juvenile delinquents. However, there are perhaps no objectively correct answers, which stems in part from ambiguity in assessing the motives, ideologies, and behaviors exhibited by members of the group. Moreover, historical understanding of the group is limited. This thesis thus seeks to increase and contribute to that understanding. This is accomplished through comprehensive searches of ten German archives, and analyses of the relevant archived materials: police records, government reports, newspaper articles, scholarly literature, and other obscure sources.
