Boys' boarding school Preacher Hirsch (Coburg)

The "Knabenpensionat" had been founded by the preacher Hermann Hirsch in 1917, when Hirsch had returned from his deployment in the First World War. Just two years after the founding of the boarding school, the villa at Hohe Straße 30 was owned by Hermann Hirsch. The boys' boarding school was to provide a home for boys who were attending secondary school in Coburg. Hermann Hirsch worked at the boarding school as a religion teacher.
The boarding school was known as a "distinguished educational institute" until the end of its existence in the 1930s. As early as the 1920s, Hermann Hirsch was opposed by the National Socialists. In January 1938 there was an attempt to close the school, but it failed. At the latest, however, with the November pogrom in the same year and the subsequent end of the Jewish community in Coburg, the closure of the school was complete.
