Explore the Hackescher Markt area, discovering the history of the neighborhood and its Jewish residents dating back hundreds of years, with stops at the Denkmal alte Synagoge, the Memorial Jewish Cemetery, and the Missing House. A private tour of Berlin's historic Jewish Quarter around Hackescher Markt, visiting the Denkmal alte Synagoge, the Memorial Jewish Cemetery, and the Missing House.
The old Jewish quarter around Hackescher Markt didn't become Jewish by accident. In 1731, King Frederick William I ordered Jewish residents without permanent housing to settle specifically in this district — then known as the Scheunenviertel, or "barn quarter," for the wooden hay barns once stored here. By the mid-1920s it was the most densely populated neighborhood in Berlin, home to a community that had grown over nearly two centuries.
A synagogue once stood on Heidereutergasse, and a Jewish cemetery was established on Große Hamburger Straße in the 18th century — both sites your guide can point you to, even where little physical trace remains. The quarter also absorbed tens of thousands of Jewish refugees fleeing pogroms in Eastern Europe after 1918, adding a new, visibly different wave of residents to streets that had already been Jewish for generations.
The Missing House, marking a building destroyed by Allied bombing in 1945, is one of the more unusual stops: rather than rebuild, the names and occupations of the building's former residents — many of them Jewish — were mounted on the blank walls of the gap where it once stood, turning absence itself into the memorial.
