The Germans in Jerusalem in the second half of the 19th century were the strongest and most influential community in the city. During those years, the Templers founded their quarter, known today as the “German Colony”, and religious organizations founded a hospital, orphanage, and school. Members of the community worked in the city and their influence was great. On the tour, learn about the important personalities and buildings that were constructed for the German community in the city.
