Oldenburg
The first documented mention of Jews in Oldenburg was in a council resolution from 1334, which describes a conflict between the count and the magistrate regarding the repeated demands of the merchants for the expulsion of the Jews. In the town charter of 1345, the protection of the Jews was enshrined with restriction of their professional activities to money trading. This legal status remained until the end of the 18th century. Until the Danish period (1667-1773), there is little evidence of Jews residing here.

Jewish-Christian Simultaneous School
The Christian-Jewish simultaneous school in Grünstadt existed since 1870. Previously, there was a Jewish denominational school until 1869. Classes were taught jointly by a Jewish and Christian teacher. In 1875 however, when the vacancy for a Jewish teacher was to be filled, difficulties arose with the Bavarian school authorities, which the Grünstadt city council successfully resisted. The position was re-advertised and finally filled by Benjamin Freudenthal who was to teach at the school for 35 years thereafter. The school was in operation until 1910.

In 1740 there were meanwhile eight Jewish families living in the village. Together with the four Jewish families living in Gabsheim, you managed to get permission from the local government to establish a "Judenschule". In this building, which became Jewish community center after the construction of the synagogue in 1836, there were probably a prayer room and the schoolroom for teaching the children (possibly the rooms were identical).
Religious school Dittelsheim-Heßloch
To take care of religious duties of the community, a teacher was employed from time to time, who also acted as a prayer leader and shochet. The children were taught Hebrew and religion. In the 19th century they were integrated into the general school system.
