The former Jewish school carried out several changes of location during its existence: After the locations in Peterstraße 6 and in Nordstraße 2 Alteneschstraße 15 (former Catholic school) followed as the seat of the Jewish school in Oldenburg. In July 1939, the decree was announced that all public Jewish schools were to be dissolved.
