Hohenems

The landscape around Stadt Hohenems is defined by the broad Rhine Valley and the lower slopes of the Bregenzerwald, which have shaped both the town’s layout and its economic life. The Austrian town stands near the Rhine’s border corridor with Switzerland, between the valley floor and the Schlossberg. Renaissance Palast Hohenems, built for the Counts of Hohenems in the 16th century, remains a central landmark. Its historic Jewish quarter recalls a community established in 1617; the Jewish Museum Hohenems examines that local history in a wider European context.
