Hospitality Industry (Restaurant/Lodging)

The institution, centrally located at the old Hanau railroad station/east station, advertised with moderate overnight prices, home-style and kosher cuisine "Polish and Romanian style". It was sometimes noted in the press that the majority of guests had an Eastern European, i.e. migrant, rather than a "Western" biographical history. When it was founded - the date is not known - the establishment first traded as Hotel Ostbahnhof, then as Hotel Diehl and finally - completely renovated - as Hotel Löwenhof; until the end of 1923 under owner or director Adolf Mangel.

From the middle of the 19th century, after the gradual demolition of the Judengasse, the former ghetto, Wilhelminian-style residential and commercial buildings were built on the demolition sites. One of the new buildings was the well-known Café Goldschmidt, prominently located in the immediate vicinity of the main synagogue, which was inaugurated in 1860.

Jenny Schlüsselburg, née Neiovetz, born on December 1, 1881 in Marmaros-Sziget, Hungary, owned the house Hinter den Höfen 4, where she and her non-Jewish husband Heinrich lived and ran a brothel. On November 15, 1938, they were banned from renting out any rooms to women, with the justification: "With regard to your Jewish descent, your business represents a danger to public safety and order."

The Hotel Esplanade was built in 1896 as ‚Schloss Dorothea‘ and renamed ‚Schloss Bruck‘ in 1910.

Koscher Restaurant and Pension, founded in 1892, owner Leopold Peltesohn.

The small kosher supermarket "Migdal" opened in January 2017 on the first floor of a residential building in Frankfurt's Ostend district. Moscow-born André Moev and Zohar Rapaport sell food from different regions here, including wine, meat, and fresh fruits and vegetables. The store is visited by many community members, but also by the non-Jewish neighborhood.

At the turn of the century, the innkeeper Leib Robinsky ran the inn named after him in Tattamischken, which was located directly on the Memel River. The river was an important trade route at that time and the inns sold many other useful things besides drinks and food. Robinsky was a member of the nearby Jewish community of Russ. He had numerous children who went from here to different places and countries. Today there is nothing left of the former village after many floods and disuse. Today at the place is a later built vacation resort.
