City walk Telgte
While Jews*Jewesses in the nearby episcopal city of Münster were not allowed to live permanently until the Napoleonic period, there is evidence of a largely unbroken Jewish population in Telgte since 1539. The number of resident Jewish families had increased to eight families at the beginning of the 18th century, and in 1812 there were twelve families with a total of 61 persons. In 1847 the synagogue community of Telgte became the main community of the synagogue district of Münster.

Shoe store Leiser
Due to the economic boom, more and more Jewish families settled in Kreuzberg's Oranienstraß in the 19th century. Hermann Leiser, who ran an egg business, also lived here. In 1889, his nephew Julius Klausner, then fifteen years old, moved to Berlin with the intention of opening a shoe shop. With the financial support of his uncle, Julius set up a shoe shop in the backyard of Oranienstraße 34 in 1891. Due to the low prices offered, demand from customers quickly increased. After only two years, the sales space became too small, and „the business-minded Julius“ expanded his business.
