A house for the Jewish community
Cäcilienstraße 18–22, 50667 Köln
Cäcilienstrasse 18–22 had been home to various facets of Jewish life from the 19th century. From the mid-1930s the location played an increasingly important role in Jewish cultural and leisure activities. More and more offers and events took place here, including theatrical performances and sports events. The Jewish Community Centre stood at what is today the junction between Cäcilienstrasse and the Nord-Süd-Fahrt.
