House Wolfenstein - Synagogue Berlin Düppelstraße (district Steglitz)
The House-Wolfenstein, also called Synagogue-Steglitz, was built in 1897 by Moses Wolfenstein, a Jewish merchant and property owner of Düppelstraße 41 in Steglitz, from former stables. The "Religiöse Verein jüdischer Glaubensgenossen zu Steglitz" used the synagogue for its services in 1897. Before that, other locations such as the Schlosspark restaurant were used for services. When Moses Wolfenstein died on April 8, 1907, the psychiatrist James Fraenkel took over the presidency of the congregation.
Former Jewish Institution for the Blind
Since there were no homes for blind Jews until then and they therefore had no livelihood, Jewish wealthy people founded an institution for the blind at Wrangelstraße 6-7. From 1918, deaf Jews were also able to live in the institution. All lived there voluntarily, sheltered and self-determined.
Former synagogue Sukkat Shalom
From 1945 to 1994, there was an interfaith facility for Christian and Jewish soldiers* in the US Army called Chaplain Center. The first location was Unter den Eichen 78-79 and in 1957 the Jewish community moved to Hüttenweg. There, the congregation shared space with two other Christian congregations. This worked by the different congregations meeting once a month and discussing when who could use the rooms. This was reported by Rabbi Prof. Dr. Andreas Nachama in an interview on August 08, 2019.
Liebermann Villa at Wannsee
The Liebermann Villa is a privately run museum since 2006 in the former summer residence of the German-Jewish painter Max Liebermann. The house and the garden tell about the life story of the famous Berlin artist.
Cemetery Wesel Ostglacis
In 1880, the cemetery on the East Glacis was purchased. Burials took place from 1881 to 1983.
The cemetery is surrounded by a wall, today there are still about 170 stones on the area. This cemetery was considerably devastated between 1933 and 1945 and gradually restored in recent decades.
In contrast to the "old" cemetery at the Esplanade, the gravestones look rather uniform, almost unadorned and unprosaic. There are many lying gravestones.

A modest Jewish community had emerged toward the end of the 16th century, and a century later a significant and successful community had developed. Around the year 1900, the maximum number of Jewish citizens was 300 people. They played a significant role in the economic life.
