Berend Lehmann Museum - Museum of Jewish History and Culture
The museum is named after the Jewish Halberstadt court factor Berend Lehmann (1661 - 1730). He was one of the most important court factors of his time and worked from Halberstadt for the courts of Prussia, Hanover and above all Saxony.
The Berend Lehmann Museum is part of the Moses Mendelssohn Academy Foundation, which is housed in historic buildings of the former Jewish community of Halberstadt. The permanent exhibition "Kosher, Klaus & Kupfer" (since 2022), is presented in the Klaus im Rosenwinkel 18 and in the Mikwenhaus in Judenstraße 25/26.
The exhibition shows the history of the Jewish community of Halberstadt as a paradigm for German Jewry as a whole. The centerpieces of the museum are the partially preserved mikvah (ritual Jewish immersion bath) and the synagogue in the former rabbinical house of learning, the Klaus.
The history of the Jews in Halberstadt is presented exclusively on the basis of exhibits that originate from Halberstadt and have come into the museum's collection through donations and loans from former Jewish Halberstadt residents and their descendants or purchases.
