Sankt-Jakobs-Platz is a public square in Munich’s Altstadt district. In the first decade of the 21st century, a problematic area of urban development became a culturally significant place, which appropriately brought the institutions of the Jewish Center Munich, Jewish Museum Munich, City Museum Munich and Angerkloster to the fore and thereby decisively upgraded the old town district. It merges almost seamlessly into Sebastiansplatz, which is delimited in the east by Prälat-Zistl-Straße. 68 years after the destruction of their main synagogue on Herzog-Max-Straße, the Jewish community returned to the center of Munich with the new Jewish center on Sankt-Jakobs-Platz. In 2007, this was a worldwide sign of reconciliation.
