Tower of David Jerusalem Museum staff
Jerusalem boasts many homes of important influential people who worked in and contributed greatly to the city. In this series, get to know these personalities and their works by visiting their homes and seeing what is happening in the surrounding area today.
Conrad Schick, a distinguished personality in 19th century Jerusalem, was one of the first researchers of Jerusalem and the land of Israel. The autodidact, Schick, worked as an archeologist, builder of models and cartographer. He was also an architect with a special touch, who built many buildings and institutions in Jerusalem.
Learn about the Schick and the German institutes in the area of Ha-Nevi’im St. – then called Street of the Consuls; and visit Tabor House, Schick’s home, which today houses the Swedish Theological Institute. The house was one of the most impressive, beautiful buildings in Jerusalem and its beautiful facade continues to turn the heads of passersby until today.
