Isidor Lewy (born 1859 in Bojanowo/Kreis Kröben) acquired the newly built house Lippehner Str. 35 in 1905. He lived there from about 1915 together with his wife Lina (born Lewy 1875 in Posen) and their daughters Hildegard (born 1901) and Charlotte (born 1903).

In 1936, the younger daughter Charlotte moved back to the parental home with her two sons Peter (b. 1930) and Werner (b. 1933) after her separation from husband Max Gossels. In the same year Isidor Lewy died and was buried in Weißensee.

The Förderverein für jüdische Kultur in Tübingen e.V. sees as its primary goal to promote Jewish culture in the university city of Tübingen. It should be especially important to find a balance between Jewish culture today and the memory of a former Jewish life in the city. In order to re-establish Jewish culture in Tübingen, efforts are currently being made to highlight the remains of the former synagogue in Gartenstraße.

In the Nuremberg State Archives, in the department " Bavarian State Office for Property Administration and Restitution, Nuremberg Branch ", the following entry can be found

" Fürth, Friedrichstr. 12, residential and commercial building; .............. - former Jewish owners: Sofie u. Amalie Offenbacher, Ernestine Eisemann"

Little is known about the early history of the Jews of Tübingen in the Middle Ages. What is certain, however, is that Tübingen's Judengasse was first mentioned in a document as early as 1398. The name originated from the medieval Jewish quarter in today's city center (between Haaggasse and Krummen Brücke). The quarter was characterized by its ghetto-like construction: It was closed off with gates and comprised about 30 houses.

was located in front of the Hageböcker Tor, in the area of the Domwiesen. Today no longer exists.

according to Mastaler:
