The village Rossow is a former Mecklenburg territory and served as a lively trade center between Mecklenburg and Prussia in the 18th century. Here the Jewish inhabitants asked for their own burial place. This was done in 1793. For a sparsely populated village like Rossow, the Jewish population was very high. The population was 20% Jewish. This circumstance changed later, however, due to strong emigration. Many Jews in Rossow lived until the 1860s from peddling in the community, but probably also from smuggling.

In the BADEHAUS of Waldram (formerly Föhrenwald), history can be experienced as if in fast motion: From 1940, the National Socialists built a model settlement for armaments workers in the Wolfratshaus forest. Towards the end of the war, the concentration camp death march passed by here. Then Föhrenwald became a camp for Jewish displaced persons who had survived the Holocaust. From 1956 on, mostly Catholic displaced persons with many children were settled and the place was renamed Waldram. Traces of this unique migration history can still be found here today.

In 1810, Abraham Herz Sr. from Diedelsheim (today a district of Bretten) bought the house at Hauptstraße 18. After his death, his son Abraham Herz Jr. took over the property in 1829: A two-story gabled house with an outside staircase. Abraham Herz ran a cattle trade and supply business for the military here. In 1837 he was granted citizenship and in 1845 - probably as the first Jew in Württemberg - he was elected to the Hochberg municipal council.
