    The Historische Mikwe-Judenbad in Friedberg, Hesse, Germany, is a well-preserved medieval Jewish ritual bath that offers visitors a glimpse into Jewish history and culture. The museum showcases the 13th-century mikveh, which is considered one of the best-preserved examples of its kind in Europe. Visitors appreciate the informative displays and the opportunity to descend into the well-maintained bath chamber. The site provides insight into Jewish religious practices and the historical significance of the Jewish community in Friedberg. Some visitors note that while the museum is small, it is rich in historical value and provides a meaningful experience. However, a few reviewers mention that the visit can be quite short, and some find the entrance fee a bit high for the size of the site. The museum's location in the old town adds to its charm, but some visitors suggest that more extensive information in multiple languages would enhance the experience for international tourists.
