Abstract:
In 1801 Israel Jacobson (1768-1828) established in Seesen, a school in which forty children of Jewish parents and twenty children of Christian parents were to be educated together, receiving free board and lodging. This close association of children of different creeds was a favorite idea of his. The Jacobson school soon obtained a wide reputation, and hundreds of pupils from neighboring places were educated there. The school lost its Jewish character later in the 19th century, but today it is still functioning as the Jacobson-Schule in Seesen, and a room has been set aside for the small Reform Jewish congregation in the town.
