On the basis of a private foundation of the Halberstadt merchant Hirsch (Zwi) Köslin (d. 1795), the general Jewish school "Hascharath Zwi" was founded in May 1796. Its main purpose was to impart basic religious as well as secular knowledge to children from poor families - an innovative concept for the traditional Jewish communities of the late 18th century. After rather modest beginnings at Judenstraße 27 (from 1797), the "Hascharath Zwi" was reformed after 1824. In 1827, a first class of girls was established and another school building was occupied at Judenstraße 18.

In the middle of the 19th century, the neo-orthodox direction established itself in Halberstadt - in contrast to the mostly reform-oriented Jewish communities in larger cities. The number of members grew, and thus various reconstruction and new building measures became necessary. This included the establishment of two new cemeteries: first "Am Berge" (1844), directly next to the oldest Jewish burial ground "Am Roten Strumpf" (1644), then in the north of Halberstadt, on the Klein Quenstedter Chaussee.

The cemetery „Am Berge“ is the second, which was established by the Jüdische Gemeinde - immediately north of the cemetery "Am Roten Strumpf". Both are separated only by the access road to the Catholic cemetery. When this second area behind the houses Am Berge 5-9 was leased or acquired for the first time is disputed: 1696 (when with the extension of the old cemetery already the property "Am Berge" was added?) or actually only 1844 (as already described by the community historian Auerbach in 1866).

The cemetery "Am Roten Strumpf" is the oldest of three burial grounds of the Jewish community of Halberstadt. In 1644, still under episcopal protection, it could be established southwest of the Johannistor (at today's intersection Sternstraße / Westendorf). Before that, the dead had to be buried elsewhere (in Derenburg and Aschersleben?). The small, square area had been leased from the St. Johannis monastery. The name of the field refers to an earlier execution site. According to this, the executioner put on a red stocking to avoid being recognized.

The former Mikwenhaus in the Judenstraße 26, already built in the 16th century as a half-timbered building, was acquired in 1766 by the Jewish community of Halberstadt. In the basement, the community mikveh with its own spring was established. Until 1879, the baroque community synagogue between Judenstraße and Bakenstraße was accessible via the courtyard gate. After a first renovation of the mikvah in 1855/56, the cellar and first floor were rebuilt in 1891/92 into a representative bathhouse with cross-ribbed vaults, heating, hot water (also to feed the mikvah), bathtubs and toilets.

The former cantor's house in Bakenstraße 56 dates from the end of the 18th century. Directly behind it stood the baroque synagogue of the Jewish community donated by the Halberstadt court factor Berend Lehmann since 1712. The entrance was initially on the east side (from Judenstraße), but was moved to the west in 1879 during renovation and the addition of a new reception hall. From then on, the gateway of the cantor's house on Bakenstraße served as the new main entrance.

In 1819, Maier Strauß (1783-1856), who came from Wollenberg (today Bad Rappenau) and had lived in Hochberg as a "Schutzjude" since 1815, acquired the house from Adam Dohl. Maier Strauß worked as a cattle dealer and bed salesman and was "Jewish church warden" in Hochberg from 1833 to 1853. His son Seligmann Löw Straus worked in his father's business and bought the house from his father in 1841. In 1842, Seligmann Löw founded the bed feather and quilt factory "Straus & Cie" in Ulm, which he moved to Bad Cannstatt in 1862.

The pharmacist Dr. Emil Kahnemann died in 1930. After his death, the widow Margarethe Kahnemann continued to operate G. Steltzner's Einhorn Pharmacy at Große Scharrnstraße 79 alone. In 1936, the pharmacy was "Aryanized" and taken over by Walter Hentschel.
