Jewish religious community
There have been written sources regarding Jews staying in Belgrade since the 16th century. Researchers believe that they were in Belgrade in earlier centuries as well. Jews who lived in the countries of the Central Europe and were the bearers of the influence of German culture and language, called Ashkenazi Jews, settled on the banks of the Sava. There is still an active synagogue at 19 Maršala Birjuzova Street, built in 1926 by the Ashkenazi Jewish community in Belgrade. Near this building, in the mid-19th century, there was an old Ashkenazi synagogue, which was demolished during various reconstructions of that part of the city. There were two synagogues on the territory of the municipality of Zemun, the Ashkenazi synagogue - built in 1850, which is not active today, but there are all the landmarks indicating that it is a religious building, and the Sephardi synagogue - which was destroyed during the Allied bombing of Zemun in 1944.
