In1757, a royal mint was established in Stralsund at Tribseer Straße 24. The director of the "Mint" demanded from the Swedish government to be allowed to employ Jews*Jewesses. The Swedish government nevertheless issued an employment permit and a letter of protection for the Jews despite the residence ban, because they were needed for the purchase of old coins, for the procurement of precious metals and for cutting stamps. Only 12 Jews*Jewesses were allowed to settle in Stralsund because of protests.

Hirsch Oppenheimer was active as teacher, cantor as well as shochet.

October 1938, the mayor of Stralsund issued an immediate order against the Jewish families. 22 people were among the 6 families who had only one hour to pack the most important things before they were arrested and taken to Stralsund's official prison. This transport (also the deportation) happened via the railroad station, which was built in 1843.

The Stolpersteine on the sidewalk in Triebseerstraße 22 in Stralsund commemorate the Gerson family, which was resident there since 1735. Born on July 3, 1872, merchant and coal merchant Adolf Gerson was the husband of Johanna Gerson and father of Natan Gerson. Adolf was humiliated, dispossessed and harassed in 1938. He died of heart failure the same year. Johanna Gerson and son Natan were deported to Auschwitz in 1942 and murdered. Other family members were also taken to concentration camps and murdered. 

The Tietz family of merchants shaped the development of the department store industry in Germany with their ideas and innovations. On Aug. 14, 1879, Leonhard Tietz opened a store for woolen goods at Ossenreyerstrasse 31 in Stralsund. With Sally and Max Baumann, the brothers of Leonhard's wife Flora, he expanded into western Germany. In 1902 Leonhard opened a modern department store at Ossenreyerstrasse 19. He died on 14.11.1914 at the age of 65.

The stele in St. John's Monastery was erected in 1988 in memory of the Jewish community. It bears the inscription, "In memory of the Jewish community and its synagogue, where it gathered from 1787 to 1938." Originally, the stele stood at Apollonienmarkt, where the synagogue was located until 1938. But there it was often defiled. Therefore, it was moved to the zoo. Today it stands in the courtyard of the Johanniskloster.

The house of the Blach family was built around 1700 after the city fire in 1680. The brothers bought the house in 1882 to live there and to establish their own leather shop, having already run a business under the name "Wallmann und Blach-Lederwaren en gros" at 8 Ossenreyerstrasse since 1876. In 1915, Felix Blach took over the management of the business with his son Carl-Phillip Blach, as his brother Julius Blach retired for reasons of age. Friedrich Blach inherited the Stralsund house in 1921. He was the youngest son of Julius and Selma Blach.

The Jewish cemetery in Stralsund was acquired by the Stralsund synagogue community in 1850 and expanded in 1912. During the National Socialist regime, the Jewish community was forced to sell the cemetery to the city in the early 1940s. Until today, the cemetery remained intact. In 1956 it was transformed into a memorial site. In this process the gravestones were moved, as  it is still visible today. On 19.08.1997 the state association of the Jewish community of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern took over the cemetery. The last renovation took place between 2000 and 2008.

The Cohn family came to Stralsund in 1890. There, Martha and Siegfried Cohn took over the men's and boys' wardrobe business from Max Keibel, where Siegfried had previously worked as manager. A family clothing business was thus established in Ossenreyerstrasse. After the birth of his two sons Heinrich and Ernst, Siegfried Cohn passed away. Martha Cohn nevertheless continued to run the business and expanded it with a tailor store. After both houses were rebuilt, they were used as commercial and residential buildings by the Cohn family. This created an important textile business in Stralsund.
