- Event History
- In the fall of 1936 all Jewish children were banned from public schools and had to attend only Jewish schools. The Jewish school in Karlsruhe was given one floor in a school for mentally disabled children. The school was known as the "Holzbodengymnasium" and was located in the Lidellstrasse. The disabled children studied on a separate floor. All facilities, including the courtyard, were separated and during recess the children were forbidden to fraternize. After Kristallnacht the Jewish school was forced to move into the Jewish community building in the Kronenstrasse, next door to the destroyed synagogue.
