History
The synagogue is situated in the heart of the former Jewish quarter near the south-east corner of the town walls (built in 1190) above the river Drava. The synagogue's earliest appearance and date are unknown; it originates certainly from the first half of the 13th century, but it had only been mentioned in 1429. It was remodelled several times before 1450, once probably in 1348, following an earthquake. The synagogue was converted into a church of All Saints in 1501. The building functioned as a church until the late 18th century. In the early 19th century it was sold and turned into a storehouse. The building was then divided horizontally into two parts. Eventually, the upper part was used as a dwelling. During the early 1980s the lower floor was used for exhibitions.
The renewing interventions started in the 90s of 20th century. It was not an easy decision which of the last tree initial phases to reconstruct. Most material finds (besides key-stones also parts of ribs, consoles and portals) date from the last synagogue phase (the middle of 15th century). A reconstruction of the late Gothic two-bay sanctuary was therefore made, following the indications of the assembled material. It was opened to public in 2001.
Programme / Mission
Maribor Synagogue Cultural Centre operates under the patronage of the Maribor Regional Museum. Several various cultural programmes, periodical documentary and artistic exhibitions, concerts, presentations, seminars, literary evenings take place there.
One of the most important duties or paramount tasks of the Synagogue in Maribor is to present the interesting and rich Jewish cultural tradition and the universal artistic creativeness to the public, and in that way to stimulate the perception and knowledge of different cultures and the aspiration for a more tolerant society.
The long-term intention is to establish a Slovene Jewish Heritage Centre at the site. During the day the monument is visited by numerous tourists.
Education
The Synagogue in Maribor organises different expert meetings and events concerning Jewish topics and overcoming the intolerance for more tolerant society. They participate in the International Day of Commemoration in Memory of the Victims of the Holocaust, in 2010 with project Šoa- spominjajmo se; and in the European Day of Jewish Culture.
Exhibitions
Temporary exhibitions are organised; in 2009 an artistic exhibition Misli v podobah (Mind Images) by Barbara Hammer, Christine Kertz and Krista Titz Tornquist; and documentary exhibition Tracing Jewish Heritage in Slovenia.
