between 1989 and 1991 i built this 1:200 scale model of a section of frankfurt/germany featuring the year 1860.
the model is the centerpiece of the "Museum Judengasse", a branch of the frankfurt jewish museum.
prominently featured is the "Judengasse" (the jewish ghetto). there are about 1200 buildings, synagoges, a monastery,
a hospital, the jewish cemetery and surrounding areas.
the size of the whole model is about 10x12 feet.
the black and white photograph at the end shows a brochure and the overview of the model.
