From the homepage of the day care center:

Our daycare center owes its existence to the Jewish Seligmann family. In memory of the parents buried in Baiersdorf, the Seligmann brothers in Frankfurt, London and New York have given 10.000,- Mk. for the construction of a children's day care center to the city, with the remark "to want to bear any additional costs as well". (Excerpt from the Fräkische Nachrichten of August 22, 1904).

Against the Rathausstraße 8, since 2003, there has been a „Jewish memorial sign“ which was inaugurated in the presence of the then chairman of the Central Council of Jews, Paul Spiegel.

On the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the November pogroms of 1938 the Freie und Hansestadt Hamburg inaugurated the "Synagogue Monument" by Margrit Kahl (1942-2009), which was designed as a walk-in square, on November 09, 1988.
