Tag des offenen Denkmals: Digging Deep – Neue Forschungen zum mittelalterlichen jüdischen Ritualbad (Mikwe) in Köln. Mit Dr. Tanja Potthoff und Michael Wiehen M. A.

In the organizer's words:

Even around 70 years after its discovery, the medieval monumental mikveh in Cologne still poses a few mysteries. The Jewish ritual bath is currently undergoing extensive restoration in the run-up to the construction of the museum and is being re-explored as part of an interdisciplinary German-Israeli research project.

In a lecture, Tanja Potthoff and Michael Wiehen will present the research project carried out together with the Open University of Israel and provide an overview of the new findings. Using a new interactive 3D model, they will give a virtual tour of the mikvah.

The lecture starts at 11:00 and will be repeated at 13:00, 15:00 and 17:00.

Address: MiQua:forum, Alter Markt 31, 50667 Cologne
