In scarcely any European city can one marvel at as many significant architectural testimonies of Jewish history and tradition spanning ten centuries as in "Warmaisa," the Hebrew name for the city of Worms, once also known as "Little Jerusalem." Whether it's the Jewish cemetery "Heiliger Sand," the Jewish quarter with synagogue, ritual bath (Mikveh), and Jewish Museum, Jewish tradition is still present in Worms today.

Building on this heritage, the city of Worms - together with the cities of Mainz and Speyer - was recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site in 2021. Under the name SchUM, an acronym derived from the initial letters of the medieval Hebrew city names (Schpira, Warmasia, Magenza), attention is drawn to the past and present Jewish culture.
