Well protected from weathering and other environmental effects, windows, capitals and other architectural components, gravestones as well as coins (“Treasure of Lingenfeld”) and floor tiles attest to what Jewish Speyer looked like during the Middle Ages. Thus, in 2010, these objects returned to the immediate vicinity of their original application. Archaeological exhibits of the three important pillars of the Jewish community are shown there: synagogue, ritual bath and cemetery. In order to furnish the SchPIRA Museum, the Historical Museum of the Palatinate and the State Office for Historic Preservation made a permanent loan of their collections of Judaica to the museum. Gradually, the city of Speyer purchased the plots on this areal and made the former site of worship accessible to the public.
