Holiday home of the Verein "Ferienkolonien für jüdische Kinder", named after its long-standing chairman Adolph Mayer. From 1908, up to 100 Berlin children were accommodated here for their summer vacation. The house was located on a hill not far from the sea, close to the forest, somewhat away from the actual bathing life. In addition to the fresh sea air, excursions to Heringsdorf, Swinouml;nde or Rügen were part of the vacation program. A small library with reading and song books kept the children occupied even on rainy days.

The high main façade caught the eye from afar. A large rose window and a prominent entrance portal gave the building a striking appearance. The inscription was emblazoned above the entrance: „וְעָשׂוּ לִי מִקְדָּשׁ, וְשָׁכַנְתִּי בְּתוֹכָם“ – And they shall make me a sanctuary, that I may dwell in their midst (Exodus 25:8).

Chabad is a worldwide Jewish Hasidic movement that originated in the 18th century in Lyubavichi, Smolensk Oblast, in present-day Russia, and is characterized by its emphasis on philosophy and mystical teachings. The movement is based in Brooklyn, New York, but its activities reach worldwide, including Israel. Chabad is known for its efforts to promote Jewish life worldwide, particularly through education, charity and religious outreach.

Alfred Philippson (1864 - 1953) was the youngest son of the rabbi and writer Ludwig Philippson and his second wife Mathilde. Ludwig Philippson (1811- 1889) moved to Bonn when he retired on May 1, 1862. His early retirement at the age of 51 was due to a congenital disease that led to almost complete blindness. His final resting place is in the Jewish cemetery in Bonn-Castell, on the corner of Römerstra<e and Augustus-Ring.

The aim is to commemorate the fates of the Jewish Schönewald and Kosses families, who lived at Bachstra<e 9 in Paderborn before and during the Nazi era. Jakob Schönewald acquired the house in 1907, which was later taken over by his son Dagobert. The Schönewald family was deported to Riga in 1941, where only Selma Schönewald survived the ghetto. Her husband and two sons presumably died in Auschwitz in 1943.

At the end of the 19th century, Hermann Herzheim had a new store built with shop windows up to the 2nd floor. Later, his grandsons remodeled the store in the style of modern department store architecture. 1925 marked the 100th anniversary of the Herzheim department store. During the Nazi era, the Herzheim family also came under pressure due to calls for a boycott. In May 1938, they were forced to sell the business for less than it was worth. Karl-Theo Herzheim, the last owner, and his wife were only able to escape deportation and survive the Shoah by fleeing to the British Mandate.

In the 1850s, Fanny Nathan (1803-1877) was moved by the desolate situation of Jewish orphans in the Paderborn region to found an orphanage for the province of Westphalia. On March 1, 1856, the institution opened in its building at Domplatz 14. As early as 1857, the catchment area was extended to the Rhineland. Due to the increasing number of children, the new Jüdische Waisenhaus für die Provinzen Westfalen und Rheinland“ was built at Leostraße 3, which the children moved into on August 1, 1863.

The important German-Israeli writer Jenny Aloni was born on September 7, 1917 in the midwifery school in Paderborn and grew up as the daughter of Jewish parents, the merchant Moritz Rosenbaum and his wife Henny, in the residential and commercial building at Bachstrasse 2, which no longer exists today.
