I already had a postcard from Erfurt but it doesn't show any of Jewish-Medieval sites.The old synagogue is one of the best preserved Medieval synagogues in Europe.

| Erfurt Old Synagogue, Mikveh, and Stone House |
This postcard was sent by Ina
Located in the heart of the Old Town of Erfurt in Thuringia, the Jewish-Medieval Heritage of Erfurt comprises the Old Synagogue, the Mikveh and the Stone House, which are rare and exceptionally preserved examples of Central European Jewish buildings that illustrate, in their built fabric, architectural details and decoration programme, the adaptation to the town’s specific spatial and social conditions and the coexistence of a Jewish community with a predominantly Christian society, during the urban development of Erfurt at the crossroads of important commercial routes in Central Europe in the Middle Ages. The property sheds light on the heyday of a Jewish community engaged with trade and exchanges in Central Europe during the Middle Ages, between the late 11th and mid-14th centuries CE, until the Black Death wave of pogroms. - in: https://whc.unesco.org/en/list/1656/
