Based in Frankfurt am Main, Germany, the project deals with the unearthing of spatial and cultural layers of the historic city centre, focusing on the modern urban fabric which was built on the relics of the Judengasse, the centuries-old Jewish ghetto.

The project’s mission involves the reinterpretation of ordinary, seemingly insignificant buildings and urban environments into spaces which carry a layered past, but possibly also a hopeful future for different social groups in the city of Frankfurt. This attempt expands the means through which architectural heritage can be understood and appropriated; by doing so, it invites the contemporary local Jewish community, along with other publics, to reclaim a lost chapter in the city’s history, and to continue writing its story while fully embracing the complexities and conflicts it might bring forth.
