Speyer was an important Jewish city in the Middle Ages, and this courtyard was the heart of the city's Jewish community then. One of four Jewish sites in Rhineland-Palatinate making up the world heritage site ShUM Sites of Speyer, Worms and Mainz.

Built in stages between 1104 and the 14th century, the courtyard contains some of the oldest and best-preserved Jewish architecture in northern Europe.
