A small Jewish cemetery in Bonn Bad Godesberg, Rheinland Pfalz, Germany

During my childhood people lived in this building.
I’m not sure if this building is city owned, but it sure falls under the category “Denkmalschutz".
A law that prohibits the owner from tearing down the building or changing it from it’s original architecture.

As kids we played with the kids from the family that lived there (if I remember it right - my best friend has a better memory ).
We were totally unaware that this building once had been a Jewish school.
We lived right around the corner in the street where the Synagogue has been (not aware of that either - at least I haven’t been).

In 1873 the Synagogue (now these days around the corner) bought the property.
In 1875 they built the simple school house with an apartment.
Some time in 1875 it changed from a private into a public Jewish school.
In 1908 it changed ownership to the public civil community (?).
Renovated in 1920 by a teacher named Albert Levi.
Used as a school until 1938.
