Jewish cemetery Hotzenplotz
In Czech Osoblaha, formerly Hotzenplotz (Yiddish Hotzplotz) is the largest Jewish cemetery in the Czech Republic after Prague. More than 100 gravestones with Hebrew and German inscriptions can be found on the hilly grounds. The oldest graves date back to the 17th century. The cemetery was used not only by the Jewish inhabitants of Hotzenplotz, but for many decades also by surrounding communities, e.g. Weidenau (now Vidnava). Hotzenplotz itself had in its heyday more than 5,000 inhabitants, more than half of whom were of the Jewish faith.
Mikvah
With the migration of Jews from Hochberg towards the end of the 19th century, the mikvah was no longer used. The visitation report of the district rabbi in 1898 states, "The mikvah could not be visited. It has fallen into disrepair. Mr. Church Councilor strongly recommends restoration from a religious point of view." It no longer came to this.
Jewish School (Remseck am Neckar)
The Hochberg School was one of eleven Jewish schools that existed in the Kingdom of Württemberg even before the Israelite Law of 1828. With this law the establishment of Jewish elementary schools was regulated for the first time and new schools were founded. In the Jewish school, five hours of instruction were given daily according to the subject content as in the Christian schools in the Kingdom of Württemberg at that time. In addition, there were two hours of Hebrew lessons daily, as well as Jewish religious instruction.
"Jewish Room" in the Museum Altes Schulhaus (Remseck am Neckar)
In the 1830 built building of the old schoolhouse in the Remsecker district Neckarrems a museum is established in 1985.
Following the discovery of the Hochberg Genizah in the attic of the former synagogue in Remseck-Hochberg, the "Jewish Room" is established in the Altes Schulhaus museum in 1992.
In the "Jewish Room" in the Museum Altes Schulhaus in Remseck-Neckarrems, the genizah finds from the former synagogue in Remseck-Hochberg are exhibited.
City walk Ribnitz-Damgarten
The "amber town" Ribnitz-Damgarten, located between Rostock and Stralsund at the entrance to the vacation region Fischland-Darß-Zingst, counts today with its good 15,000 inhabitants to the district Vorpommern-Rügen. Historically, these are two towns that were (forcibly) merged into one community only in 1950. Geographically, they are still separated by the marshy Recknitz as a "border river": Ribnitz in the west, first mentioned in a document in 1233, belonged to the Duchy of Mecklenburg.
