PEACE in Augsburg: Exhibition in the Former Synagogue Kriegshaber

An exhibition experience about peace, memory, and the present

The special exhibition PEACE at the Former Synagogue Kriegshaber focuses on a topic that could hardly be more current on September 13, 2026. The exhibition from the Jewish Museum Augsburg Schwaben is shown in a historic place that itself is deeply connected with Jewish history, renewal, and societal memory. The exhibition has been running since December 3, 2025, and ends on this day in Augsburg. ([jmaugsburg.de](https://jmaugsburg.de/fuehrungen/frieden/?utm_source=openai))

A place with a strong presence

The Former Synagogue Kriegshaber is considered the oldest preserved synagogue in Bavarian Swabia and has been part of the Jewish Museum Augsburg Schwaben since 2014. Today, the building serves as an exhibition and event space, where historical architecture and contemporary communication create a special atmosphere. This combination of monument, museum work, and the present gives the presentation of PEACE an extraordinary depth.

Content with political and cultural relevance

The exhibition is based on a Viennese model and sheds light on peace from a Jewish perspective. It connects questions regarding war, dialogue, justice, feminism, and political responsibility with selected objects and artistic works. For Augsburg, the project carries additional weight as it coincides with the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II and the 375th anniversary of the High Peace Festival.
