Fränkische-Schweiz-Museum, Regional museum in Pottenstein, Germany.
The Fränkische-Schweiz-Museum is a regional museum in Pottenstein that spans multiple rooms displaying objects, photographs, and collections related to local geology and regional life. The exhibition provides an overview of the diverse aspects of the area and its inhabitants.
The building is known as Judenhof and houses an original 18th-century synagogue, documenting the Jewish presence in the region. This structure connects the museum collection with the area's past.
The displays show regional crafts and religious practices that shaped community life over generations. These traditions remain visible in the objects and documents presented throughout the rooms.
The museum occupies 43 rooms across roughly 800 square metres in the Judenhof, the building complex below the limestone cliffs of Tüchersfeld. The original 18th-century synagogue is accessible separately from the main exhibition. Special events, lectures and temporary exhibitions supplement the permanent collection; the programme is posted on the museum's website.
The museum occupies the Judenhof, a building complex erected on the site of the Untere Burg Tüchersfeld, destroyed during the Thirty Years' War. Its 43 rooms hold around 800 m² of displays, among them a large-format map from the Seven Years' War showing Prince Henry's incursion into Franconia.
