Education

The Israelitische Taubstummen-Anstalt was located in Berlin-Weißensee at Parkstraße 22 and was run by Markus Reich, and later by his son Felix Reich.
Markus Reich had founded a deaf-mute institution in Fürstenwalde in 1873 with four students. In 1884, together with his supporters, he established the "Friends of the Deaf and Dumb - Jedide Ilmin" association. In 1889, the association acquired and built the property at Parkstraße 22. After Markus Reich's death in 1911, his son Felix took over the management of the deaf-mute institution.

At St.-Apern-Straße 29–31 was from 1884 to 1942 one of the centers of Jewish life and learning in Köln.

Stadtrabbiner Dr. Paul Rieger, Stuttgart, went in his ceremonial address also on the history of the Jewish community of Gmünd in the Middle Ages and emphasized that already in 1258 the Jews of Gmünd had founded their own place of worship with school.
