Stele in memory of the Jewish orphanage for Westphalia and the Rhineland and its last residents
A stele cast in bronze has stood on the forecourt of the Westphalian School for the Blind and Visually Impaired, Husener Strasse 13, sponsored by the Landschaftsverband Westfalen-Lippe, since 1990. It is the work of sculptor Werner Klenk, Oelde, who created it on behalf of the GCJZ Paderborn. The city of Paderborn provided financial support.
Stele - Former cemetery of the Jewish community
A stele, an approx. 1.60 m high stone, has stood in the green area on the corner of Hilligenbusch/Schulbrede since 1993. The stone bears a bronze plaque informing visitors that the cemetery of Paderborn's Jewish community was located here at the beginning of the 19th century, which donated the land to the city of Paderborn as a green space in 1930.
Dr. Albert Rose Way
A path located on the university grounds was named after Dr. Albert Rose. Albert Rose was born in Paderborn in 1882. After graduating from the Theodoranium and studying law in Cologne and Berlin, Rose worked as a lawyer and notary in Paderborn. In 1942, Albert Rose was the last chairman of the synagogue and board member of the Jewish orphanage. After his arrest in the pogrom night of 1938 and imprisonment in the Buchenwald concentration camp, among other places, Albert Rose emigrated to England and from there to the USA. He died there in California in 1969.
At the old synagogue
The square „An der Alten Synagoge“ was given its name in 1990. The naming of the previously nameless square at the suggestion of the GCJZ Paderborn was a small intermediate step in the efforts and controversial discussions over the years about an appropriate form of commemoration of the annihilated Jewish community at the site of the synagogue destroyed in 1938.
Liese Dreyer way
A path on the grounds of the university has commemorated the last director of the Jewish orphanage, Liese Dreyer, since 2003. Rose Elise ‚Liese‘ Dreyer was born in Rietberg on July 10, 1895. In 1914, she moved from Cologne, where she probably trained as an educator, to Paderborn to work in the Jewish orphanage on Leostraßlig. In 1930, Liese Dreyer succeeded her aunt as director of the orphanage, which not only housed orphans but also poor children from Jewish families, who were to be provided with food and accommodation as well as education and schooling.

Max Lesser and Mary Lesser, née Block
Max Lesser was born on May 31, 1878 in Schwersenz (near Poznan). He grew up in an important Jewish family of entrepreneurs. The Lessers had been building agricultural machinery since the late 19th century. The Lesser brothers' factory in Poznan, which at times employed 400 people, was considered the largest manufacturer of potato harvesters in Europe.
After the First World War, Poznan became Polish and the factory was sold.
