Auf den Spuren jüdischen Lebens: Von der Hansabibliothek bis zum ehemaligen Güterbahnhof Moabit

Guided tour with Nirit Ben-Joseph

Before the Second World War, the Hansaviertel and Moabit were places of lively Jewish life. At around 8%, the proportion of Jewish residents in the 1920s in the Hansaviertel alone was almost double the proportion of Jews in Berlin's total population. In addition to many kosher stores, there were also three synagogues - in Lessingstraße, Siegmunds Hof and Levetzowstraße. For a long time, the Jewish history of the two districts was concealed and only made visible again by local initiatives such as Gleis 69 e. V., Sie waren Nachbarn e. V. and the Bürgerverein Hansaviertel e. V.. Together with the city guide Nirit Ben-Joseph, we want to go in search of traces of Jewish life in the Hansaviertel and Moabit - from the Hansa Library to the former Moabit goods station.

Meeting point: Hansa Library (Altonaer Straße 15, 10557 Berlin)
