Mikwe in Friedberg, Ritual bath in Friedberg, Germany.
The Friedberg mikveh features seventy-two basalt steps leading down to a natural spring pool located eighty-two feet below ground level.
Built in 1260, this medieval Jewish ritual bath remains one of the most important preserved examples of medieval Jewish architecture in Germany.
The stone walls, arches, and octagonal dome opening represent the traditional architectural elements used in Jewish ritual bath construction during medieval times.
Visitors need to arrange guided tours in advance to access this underground structure, which maintains stable temperatures throughout the year.
Natural light enters through an octagonal opening in the dome, creating distinct lighting effects on the water surface at different times of day.
