What is Prague Jewish quarter, Supreme Prague
What is Prague Jewish quarter? Why is the area called Josefov, where do you find it? When did Jews live in this area? How big is the current Jewish community?
All together there is no Jewish quarter today in Prague - designated area mostly populated by Jews. In Prague city center we find area called Josefov, a new area built between 1897-1914 mostly. So the old Jewish ghetto was torn down and rebuilt. However, in the area we find the old buildings remaining from the old ghetto - synagogues, cemetery, and town hall. You can visit most of the old sites - it is the Jewish museum.

Prague's Jewish quarter
Jewish Quarter (Josefov) in Prague. Also known as Josefov. Located between the Old Town Square and the Vltava River.
In this video one would continue to watch the video will see the river and boats where you would be able to join a cruise of the entire river journey or a little trip in city limits.
Its torrid history dates back to the 13th century.
If you walk Prague's Jewish quarter is emotional, but imperative to understand the Czech's history, and the history of Europe. It's hard to comprehend ...
I was here back in the days as young backpacker at the tender age of 18 that was 1988.
Much of the past has been simply modernised to look like another German city.

From Náměstí Republiky, the Republic Square, we walk south past the St. Henry's Tower to the Jerusalem Synagogue, also known as Jubilee Synagogue. The Jerusalem Synagogue, a building in Art Nouveau style, lies in the New Town of Prague. Originally, Josefov, a quarter north of the old town, was the Jewish Town. In 1948, one granted civil rights to Jews in Prague. There upon many people moved to other areas and the buildings decayed. Between 1893 and 1913, one tor off most of the neighborhood and rebuilt new houses, based on the model of Paris.
Since some synagogues were also torn down, one planned a new one. A specially founded association acquired a piece of land in Jerusalem Street. The Jewish architect Wilhelm Stiassny from Vienna planned and Alois Richter executed the construction. Moorish and oriental style elements labeled into the design.
The long interior forms of a three-aisled basilica. The side aisles are separated by arcades. On the upper floor is a gallery with a photo exhibition.
Among other things, you see the keystone certificate of Emperor Franz Josef I here. The Torah shrine is closed with a gilded door. Splendid stained glass windows complete the magnificent colorful building.
The entrance fee is CZK 80 (€ 3,12 per person).
On the way back we come again to the St. Henry's Tower, built from 1472 - 1475. With a height of 65.7 meters, it is the highest freestanding bell tower in Prague. Originally it was a church tower, but due to the separation of the church, one gave up the church use. A carillon in the roof of the tower can only be heard inside the tower. Today there are cafes, restaurants, a gallery, and a viewing platform in the tower.
We also pass the Republic Square with the Municipal Hall and the Powder Tower again, before we go to the monument to Franz Kafka. It shows Franz Kafka on the shoulders of a headless man. The artwork was created by Jaroslav Róna.
Behind is the Jewish Museum and the Spanish Synagogue.

Vom Platz der Republik gehen wir in Richtung Süden, vorbei am Heinrichsturm zur Jerusalemsynagoge.
Die Jerusalemsynagoge, eine Synagoge im Jugendstil, liegt in der Prager Neustadt.
Ursprünglich war die Josefstadt im Norden der Altstadt das Jüdische Viertel. 1948 wurden den Juden in Prag die Bürgerrechte verliehen. Im Anschluss daran zogen viele in andere Viertel und die Häuser verfielen. Zwischen 1893 und 1913 wurde ein Großteil des Viertels abgerissen und durch neue Häuser nach Pariser Vorbild ersetzt.
Da auch einige Synagogen abgerissen wurden, plante man einen Neubau. Ein speziell dafür gegründeter Verein erwarb ein Grundstück in der Jerusalemer Straße. Geplant wurde der Bau von dem Architekten Wilhelm Stiassny aus Wien. Alois Richter führte den Bau aus. Maurische und orientalische Stilelemente flossen in die Gestaltung mit ein.
Der langgezogene Innenraum besteht aus einer dreischiffigen Basilika. Die Seitenschiffe sind durch Arkaden abgetrennt. Im ersten Stock ist eine Galerie, auf der eine Fotoausstellung arrangiert wurde.
Unter anderem ist die Schlusssstein-Urkunde von Kaiser Franz Josef I hier ausgestellt. Der Toraschrein ist mit einer vergoldeten Tür verschlossen. Das herrliche farbenfrohe Gebäude wird durch prächtige Buntglasfenster ergänzt.
Der Eintrittspreis beträgt 80 tschechische Kronen ( € 3,12 pro Person ).
Auf dem Rückweg passieren wir wieder den Heinrichsturm, der 1472 -1475 erbaut wurde. Er ist mit einer Höhe von 65.7 Metern der höchste freistehende Prager Glockenturm. Ursprünglich war er ein Kirchenturm, jedoch wurde die kirchliche Nutzung aufgegeben. Ein Glockenspiel im Dach des Turmes ist nur im Inneren des Turmes zu hören. Heute befinden sich Cafes, Restaurants und eine Galerie im Turm.
Auch den Platz der Republik mit dem Gemeindehaus und dem Pulverturm passieren wir noch einmal, bevor wir zum Denkmal für Franz Kafka gehen. Es zeigt Franz Kafka auf den Schultern eines kopflosen Mannes. Das Kunstwerk wurde von Jaroslav Róna geschaffen.
Direkt dahinter befindet sich das Jüdische Museum und die Spanische Synagoge.
