About Strasbourg

Strasbourg is the capital city of the Alsace region in northeastern France. It's the seat of the European Parliament and sits near the German border, with culture and architecture blending German and French influences. It's known for its Gothic Cathédrale Notre-Dame, featuring daily shows from its astronomical clock and sweeping views of the Rhine River from partway up its 141m spire. Strasbourg's historic city centre, the Grande Île (Grand Island), was classified a World Heritage site by UNESCO in 1988, the first time such an honour was placed on an entire city centre. Strasbourg is immersed in the Franco-German culture and although violently disputed throughout history, has been a bridge of unity between France and Germany for centuries. In 2006, the city proper had 171,975 inhabitants and its urban community 467,375 inhabitants. In spite of its position far inland, Strasbourg's climate is classified as Oceanic. For a city of comparatively small size, Strasbourg displays a large quantity and variety of museums, it also has many historical buildings of beauty and importance.

Jewish History, POI & Kosher Establishments in Strasbourg

The history of the Jews in Alsace is one of the oldest in Europe. It was first attested to in 1165 by Benjamin of Tudela, who wrote about a "large number of learned men" in "Astransbourg"; and it is assumed that it dates back to around the year 1000 CE. Although Jewish life in Alsace was often disrupted by outbreaks of pogroms, at least during the Middle Ages, and reined in by harsh restrictions on business and movement, it has had a continuous existence ever since it was first recorded. At its peak, in 1870, the Jewish community of Alsace numbered 35,000 people. The Jewish population is around 16,000 today. After the Algerian war, beginning in 1961, Sephardic Jews arrived in Alsace from North Africa. In the year 2000, roughly 4,000 Jews in Strasbourg were Sephardic, making up a little over 15% of the total Jewish population. In the year 2001, roughly 15% of the 500 Jewish families of Mulhouse were Sephardic. There are 4 main synagogues in Strasbourg. There are around 8 kosher restaurants in Strasbourg.
