Due to the economic boom, more and more Jewish families settled in Kreuzberg's Oranienstra&szlig 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.

The cemetery at the Dansenberg was occupied for the first time in 1809. Today it has 50 gravestones.

Adorf is a small community in the north of Hesse in the Waldeck region. 

Jews settled in Adorf since the late 18th century. In 1872 the community counted 75 members, in 1933 still 20. Some Jews were able to emigrate, 8 became victims of persecution. 

In 1830 a synagogue and a school were built in the center of the village near St. John's Church. The synagogue was sold and demolished in 1937. The interior was destroyed in November 1938. 

The community had a school with a teacher and a mikvah.
