Since the 14th century, Jewish women and men have lived in Borken. The Jewish community is thus a part of the 1700-year history of German-Jewish life.
During the violent rule of the National Socialists and due to the events of war, many architectural traces of Jewish life in Borken were destroyed. However, central places of community life and private residences can still be located in the city area today.
On the approximately 900-meter route, the old Jewish cemetery, the site of the synagogue destroyed in 1938, and some houses of Jewish citizens can be visited. Following this train of thought, you will learn about interesting aspects of Westphalian Judaism and about the biographies of the people who brought it to life. The storytelling keeps the memory of Borken's Jewish community alive.

Male participants need a head covering to visit the Jewish cemetery.
