Residence of Moses and Fromet Mendelssohn
After their marriage in 1762, the famous enlightener and pioneer of the Haskalah, Moses Mendelssohn, and his wife Fromet Mendelssohn (née Guggenheim) moved into the house at the former Spandauer Straße 68 (corner of Karl-Liebknecht-Straße). Before them, other enlighteners such as M. Mendelssohn's friend Gotthold Ephraim Lessing had already lived there. Until his death in 1786, M. Mendelssohn, like many Berlin Jews, was not allowed to buy the house.
Jewish cemetery Halberstadt "Am Berge" (1696? / 1844)
The cemetery „Am Berge“ is the second, which was established by the Jüdische Gemeinde - immediately north of the cemetery "Am Roten Strumpf". Both are separated only by the access road to the Catholic cemetery. When this second area behind the houses Am Berge 5-9 was leased or acquired for the first time is disputed: 1696 (when with the extension of the old cemetery already the property "Am Berge" was added?) or actually only 1844 (as already described by the community historian Auerbach in 1866).
Department store Meyer
Georg Meyer (born December 5, 1888 in Guben; February 3, 1940 in Shanghai) founded the Neuheiten-Kaufhaus department store in Frankfurt after completing a commercial apprenticeship. It was located for rent at Jüdenstrasse 17, corner of Große Scharrnstrasse 18, until 1938. In 1918, he took on his brother Siegfried Meyer as an equal partner and founded a general partnership. He married Maria Bertha Meyer née Schüler (called Betty) with whom he had a daughter, Ursula Meyer. The family lived at Buschmühlenweg 31 (today 41).

Residence of Heinrich Gritschke
The locksmith Heinrich Gritschke (born May 4, 1891 in Kattowitz; died August 20, 1934 in Frankfurt) got into an altercation with members of the SA in a Frankfurt pub on August 19, 1934. An alleged insult to the SA by Gritschke led to a brawl, whereupon SA-Obertruppführer Franz Sch. stabbed Heinrich Gritschke to death. He died in the hallway of the inn in the early morning of August 20. The investigation against Franz Sch. was influenced by the NSDAP in such a way that only bodily injury resulting in death was charged.
