Schools and educational institutions in the Jewish Ostend
Frankfurt Ostend district was the city's Jewish quarter from the second half of the 19th century until the Nazi persecution. Around 1895, around a quarter of the residents were Jewish. In 1925, around 6,400 Jews lived in Ostend. Liberal, conservative and neo-orthodox Jews lived together here, as did immigrants from Eastern Europe from the 1880s onwards, with different rites and religious customs, which was also visible in everyday life and in the cityscape. The tour shows the dense network of Jewish schools and educational institutions in the district.
