In 1909, the Jewish community of Leer built a school building in what was then Deichstraße, which was to serve as both a religious and a (public) elementary school. Before that, the pupils* had been taught in a house in Kirchstraße since the 1840s/50s (cf. Beykirch 2006, 32f.). Until its closure, four teachers (Lasser Abt, Ignaz Popper, Hermann Spier and Seligmann Hirschberg) taught successively at the Jewish School Leer.

"From the main road from Bremerhaven via Langen to Nordholz and Cuxhaven, turn right in Midlum exactly opposite the turnoff in the direction of Dorum and Wermen into Wanhödener Straße. (At the turnoff there is a signpost to the Jewish cemetery.) Follow this road straight ahead to the end of the village. After about 2 km, on the right side of the road, a signpost that cannot be overlooked points to the cemetery, which is about 50 m away in a small wood."
