Jewish Places is a website that visualizes places of both current and historical Jewish life in Germany and several surrounding countires via an interactive map. The four main categories of information are Places, People, Walks, and Institutions, which inlcudes community institutions (e.g. synagogues, prayer houses, cemeteries or mikvaot) as well as secular institutions such as sports clubs, Jewish salons or cafés. Users can also opt for virtually guided walks that provide an overview of Jewish sites in various cities, follow in the footsteps of historical personalities and trace the places around which their biographies revolved, or contribute their own articles and edit existing information as user-generated content.
