The Rashi House, which is used today among other things as a city archive and Jewish Museum, dates back in its origins to the late Middle Ages. Originally it served the Jewish community of Worms as a community center, among other things as a hospital, dance and teaching house, as well as a home for the elderly. Walls from the first building have been preserved in the cellar vaults.

The first documented mention of Jews in Oldenburg was in a council resolution from 1334, which describes a conflict between the count and the magistrate regarding the repeated demands of the merchants for the expulsion of the Jews. In the town charter of 1345, the protection of the Jews was enshrined with restriction of their professional activities to money trading. This legal status remained until the end of the 18th century. Until the Danish period (1667-1773), there is little evidence of Jews residing here.

Jewish-Christian Simultaneous School

Complete profile
60

The Christian-Jewish simultaneous school in Grünstadt existed since 1870. Previously, there was a Jewish denominational school until 1869. Classes were taught jointly by a Jewish and Christian teacher. In 1875 however, when the vacancy for a Jewish teacher was to be filled, difficulties arose with the Bavarian school authorities, which the Grünstadt city council successfully resisted. The position was re-advertised and finally filled by Benjamin Freudenthal who was to teach at the school for 35 years thereafter. The school was in operation until 1910.
