Isaak E. Lichtigfeld School at the Philanthropin (Frankfurt am Main)
The Philanthropin, founded in 1804 as a "place of humanity" by the Frankfurt Jewish community, moves into its new quarters at Hebelstrasse 15-19 in 1908. The Berlin magistrate Georg Matzdoff, together with the engineer Ernst Hiller, is awarded the contract for a new school building in the neo-Renaissance style.
Westend Synagogue (Frankfurt am Main)
A hundred years ago, it was founded as a synagogue for the liberal stream of Judaism, whose adherents increasingly settled in the West End at the beginning of the 20th century.
Today, the large main room serves as an Orthodox synagogue, while at the same time all directions within the Jewish community find their home in the building. Neither the Pogrom Night nor the 2nd World War could destroy the Westend Synagogue completely, thus the reconstruction can take place already 1948 - 1950 by the architects Max Kemper, Werner Hebebrand in cooperation with Hans Leistikow.
Baden-Baden Jewish Cemetery
The dead of the Jewish community of Baden-Baden were initially buried in Kuppenheim. Here are also graves of Jewish spa guests who died in Baden-Baden.
In1918 to 1921, a Jewish cemetery was established in the Lichtental district, located within the general cemetery there on Eckbergstrasse (size 23.81 acres). It is occupied until the present time.
On him are a cemetery hall and since 1976 a memorial stone for the destroyed synagogue.
City walk Dresden
The emergence of Jewish life in Dresden can be dated back to the 12th century, that is, to the period of the city's foundation. At the time of the Middle Ages, Jews*Jews in Saxony were forbidden to own or sell land. Many professions were denied to them because of their Jewishness, for example entry into the Christian guilds. This often left them only with the field of money trading, since the canonical prohibition of interest by the church did not apply to them.
Jewish cemetery (Rhaunen)
The Jewish cemetery in Rhaunen was established in 1892 at the latest. The cemetery area covers 8.75 Ar.
The graves are arranged in chronological order in two rows of graves. A large number of the gravestones have been preserved. Some stones have become illegible due to weathering. The cemetery presents itself in a very well-kept condition.
Jewish cemetery (Birkenfeld)
The dead of the Jewish community in Birkenfeld were initially buried in the Jewish cemetery in Hoppstädten. A separate Jewish cemetery in Birkenfeld was established in 1891/92. In November 1891, the Jewish community asked the responsible authorities for the possibility to establish a cemetery in Birkenfeld. In the course of the year 1892 the cemetery could be handed over to its purpose. The oldest gravestone is from 1895 (for Lazarus Weil, died February 10, 1895). The cemetery was occupied until the Nazi period. The probably last burial was in 1939.
Judenstraße (Kempen)
As in other places in Germany, the Jews were driven out of the towns during the plague pogroms in the Middle Ages. The fate of the Jews in Kempen was similar.
Only around the year 1800 Jews again settled in the city and set up a prayer room, which was located in the street that was later called Judenstraße. Not far from this street, a synagogue and a private Jewish school were built.
