Anna Winger: "It's creatively freeing to not live in your own culture"
Another Jewish place of worship in the city centre is now in planning after a lengthy dispute among several Jewish communities. The former Potsdam synagogue was destroyed in 1938.
The new centre unites the Institute for Jewish Theology and two rabbinical seminaries - the Abraham Geiger College and the Zacharias Frankel College - under one roof. The opening is considered a highlight during the celebrations for 1,700 years of Jewish history in Germany.
The Jewish theology programme has existed in Potsdam since 2013. According to the university, the subject is unique in Europe in its combination of academic studies and practical training. The former Orangerie and the historical North Gate building opposite the New Palace were converted for the centre.
