Residential Facility (Nursing Home, Orphanage, etc.)

Na Třebešíně 1423/18 housed a Jewish old people's home until 1942. The facility, which was managed by the Association for Jewish Nursing (Spolek pro židovskou péči o nemocné), was closed in connection with the deportations to Theresienstadt in 1942. The building is now used as a private residence.

The origins of the hospital date back to 1888, when the Jewish community of Prague decided to establish a facility for sick and poor members. In 1908, the "Jubilee Foundation of Emperor Franz Joseph for the Sick" acquired the land, and in 1911 the building was erected in the classical modernist style according to the plans of architect Viktor Kafka.

During the Second World War, the site was converted into a Nazi labor camp for people from mixed marriages in 1943, where around 3,500 people were interned and forcibly used to process mica for the company Glimmer--Spalterei GmbH.

The German-Israelitic Community Association (DIGB) in Steglitzer Strasse in Berlin founded a home for feeble-minded but educated children in 1907 to mark the silver wedding anniversary of the imperial couple. A new foundation was established for this purpose, the Wilhelm-Auguste-Victoria Foundation. The special thing about this home was that it was the only school that took in physically disabled Jewish children. Sally (Samuel) Bein was appointed head of the school. The Potsdam Department for Church and Education approved the home and school for 20 children on September 5, 1908.

The Jüdische Altenheim Gerlachstraße was confiscated by the National Socialists during the Second World War and used as a collection point for elderly and old Jews who were to be transported to concentration camps. 260 original residents and over 2000 elderly Jews were deported from here. In the late 1960s, the buildings that had not been destroyed by Allied bombs were demolished to make way for the GDR's House of Statistics.

Isidor Stern realized his late wife Olga's idea of a comfortable and enjoyable home for people from the middle class. In memory of Olga, the Olga Stern House was established in the spring of 1930 as a home for the elderly for Jewish people over 60 years of age. The house was located in a beautiful setting and had generously furnished rooms. There was a music room with a piano and a large garden. There the residents came together for common meetings. Through the proximity to nature and through intellectually stimulating activities, e.g.

The orphanage was founded in response to the pogroms against the Jewish population after the assassination of Tsar Alexander II of Russia. In the course of this, the Berlin Relief Committee brought 39 Jewish boys aged 6 to 11 from Russia to Berlin in 1882. For their accommodation, a plot of land was purchased in Pankow at Berliner Strasse 121, which was occupied on October 22, 1882. Free places were filled with orphans from the Jewish community in Berlin.
