A tour focusing on the activities of the Germans in Jerusalem in the second half of the 19th century, when the German community became one of the strongest, most-influential communities in the city.

During those years, the Templers founded their quarter, today known as the “German Colony”; established religious organizations; and opened a hospital, an orphanage, and a school. On the tour, learn about the important figures and the buildings constructed for the German community in the city.

Begin at Jaffa Gate, circumvented ahead of Kaiser Wilhelm II’s visit; continue to the Christ Church featuring the original models made by well-known researcher Conrad Schick; enter the Maronite monastery, the location of the hospital of the Diakonie nuns; visit the Church of the Redeemer, the Lutheran church that was dedicated during Wilhelm II’s visit; and finish at the St. John’s hostel in the Christian Quarter.

Meeting Point: Tower of David Jerusalem Museum, new Entrance Pavilion next to Mamilla
