High School of the Sages - Yeshiva Chachmej Lublin

The suggestion was taken up by the Congress and Lublin was chosen as the site because of its long tradition of rabbinical seminaries (foundation stone laid in 1924). The College of the Sages (Yeshiva Chachmei Lublin) was opened in 1930.

The origins of the company Manus Katzenstein go back to the year 1842, when an ironmonger who had moved to the area founded the business. The founder was Manus Katzenstein, who was born in Erdmannsrode around 1788. Over the years, the business developed into a respected metal and iron shop and was still located at 52 Wolfhager Stra&szlig. The increasing industrialization of Kassel at the turn of the century as well as the prospering business prompted the owner Moritz Katzenstein to give up the old company location in 1905 and to move it to Sanderhauml;user Straße 17.
