Höhere Israelitische Schule, Jewish school building in Leipzig, Germany

The Höhere Israelitische Schule building features early 20th-century architectural elements with large windows and structured facades across three floors.

The school, established in 1912 by Rabbi Ephraim Carlebach, became the first Jewish educational institution in Saxony and operated until forced closure in 1942.

The institution provided both secular education and Jewish studies, teaching languages, sciences, and traditional religious values to the Leipzig Jewish community.

The building now houses a library for blind people and includes an exhibition documenting the educational legacy of the former Jewish school.

During the 1930s, student enrollment increased as Jewish children were banned from attending other schools in Leipzig under Nazi regulations.
