Dannie N. Heineman (1872-1962) was born in the USA to German-Jewish emigrants and remained an American citizen throughout his life. After his father's death, he and his mother returned to Germany and lived in their native Hanover from 1883. Heinemann graduated from the Technical University of Hanover as an electrical engineer, worked for AEG Berlin and other companies, and made a career as a manager for a large Belgian electrical corporation. His mother died in Hanover in 1927.

With the consolidation of the neo-orthodox Jewish community in Halberstadt, it undertook various conversion and new building projects after 1850: After the Klaussynagoge (1857/58), the Gemeindesynagoge (1879), the Gemeindemikwe (1891/92), the third cemetery (1895/96) and the school (1899), on December 22, 1912, the Jewish retirement home „Newe Menucha“ (Hebrew for the elderly) was opened. December 1912 in the Wilhelmstraße 15 - on the initiative of the families Baer and Meyer - also the Jewish old people's home „Newe Menucha“ (Hebrew „source of rest“) was inaugurated.

Since there were no homes for blind Jews until then and they therefore had no livelihood, Jewish wealthy people founded an institution for the blind at Wrangelstraße 6-7. From 1918, deaf Jews were also able to live in the institution. All lived there voluntarily, sheltered and self-determined.

Isaac Oppenheim, born in 1805 - died in 1872 laid down his Jewish first name after baptism and was henceforth called Julius Ernst Oppenheim. His father Salomon Oppenheim, married to Judith Bondy, was for many years one of the heads of the liberal German Israelite community in Hamburg and chairman of the Advance Institute, which was founded in 1816 as a branch of the Israelite Poorhouse. Julius Ernst Oppenheim was the founder of the parity Jewish-Christian Julius-Ernst-Oppenheim-Stift, which is supported by the Vaterstädtische Stiftung and still exists today.

The Nelly Sachs House was built between the years 1969-1970 and opened in 1970. The house was commissioned by the Jewish community of Düsseldorf as a home and parents of the returned members of the community. The Nelly Sachs House is named after the Jewish poet Nelly Sachs and is adapted to the needs of the house, usually aging residents. The house has 100 barrier-free rooms, a synagogue, a library and a dining room where Kosher food is served.  Consultation hours with the rabbi are held in the house, as well as Jewish holidays and Shabbat are celebrated.

The Adolf Hamburger Home was opened in September 1984, refurbished in 2010 and renovated in 2015/2016. The sponsorship lies with the Jewish Community of Nuremberg.
