PEACE in the Former Synagogue Kriegshaber: An exhibition that makes Augsburg's history palpable
With the special exhibition PEACE, the Jewish Museum Augsburg Swabia opens an impressive space in the Former Synagogue Kriegshaber for questions, hopes, and perspectives around peaceful coexistence. The exhibition runs from December 3, 2025, to September 13, 2026, and combines Jewish viewpoints on peace with historical and contemporary objects as well as artworks.
A place with a special atmosphere
The Former Synagogue Kriegshaber is one of the most impressive cultural places in Augsburg. In this historic building, the exhibition unfolds a calm, focused atmosphere that makes the visit an intense event experience. The connection between the monument, the culture of remembrance, and modern exhibition design creates an ambiance that resonates.
Jewish perspectives, clear messages
The exhibition highlights different concepts of peace and relates them to Judaism, politics, war, feminism, dialogue, and justice. Thus, it creates not a classic tour but a content-driven exhibition experience with high standards for contextualization and mediation. The Augsburg adaptation was curated by Monika Müller, and the design comes from the Vienna-based office Fuhrer.
Augsburg's peace history in focus
PEACE was initiated by two significant anniversaries: the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II and the 375th anniversary of the High Peace Festival. This connection gives the exhibition in Augsburg a special authority and regional depth. Visitors experience not only art and objects here but also a precisely curated engagement with social responsibility.
Visit, opening hours, and notes
The exhibition can be seen in the Former Synagogue Kriegshaber, Ulmer Straße 228. It is open Thursday to Sunday from 2 PM to 6 PM. Admission is 6 euros, reduced 3 euros. The exhibition site is partially barrier-free; the museum recommends a prior inquiry if needed. Registration is required for the public tour on June 14, 2026, at 3 PM.
Conclusion: A visit that stays
PEACE is an exhibition for people seeking culture with a stance. Those who engage with the topic will experience a calm, intelligent, and emotionally rich museum visit in an extraordinary historic space. Especially in Augsburg, this exhibition unfolds its special impact. An event for all who want to experience peace issues not abstractly but very closely.
