In the location's words:

The former synagogue in the Kriegshaber district of Augsburg is the oldest surviving synagogue in Bavarian Swabia and has been the second location of the Jewish Museum Augsburg Swabia since 2014. As the center of a rural Jewish community, it forms the counterpart to the large synagogue in the city center. Set up in a residential building at the beginning of the 18th century, it served as the center of religious life for the Jews in the once independent village for over two centuries. Thanks to the conservation concept of the renovation, impressive traces of its eventful history have been preserved inside.

Temporary exhibitions can be seen in the former Kriegshaber synagogue and the site is also used for various museum events.
