The Jewish Community in Frankfurt has a very long history, going back to at least 1160, but most likely back to the court of Charlemagne as well as to when the Romans were here. There are several museums that document Jewish life in Frankfurt through the centuries, as well as other sites that are of historic and cultural interest.
