Jawne, Jewish secondary school museum in Cologne, Germany.
Jawne was a Jewish secondary school in Cologne that operated from 1919 to 1942, educating young people according to modern German curricula. The memorial center today displays exhibits about the students who attended and preserves their stories.
The school was founded in 1919 by Rabbi Emanuel Carlebach and was the first Jewish secondary school in the Rhineland region. It received official state recognition in 1925 before being forced to close during Nazi rule.
The school was a place where Jewish traditions and German teaching methods came together. Students learned Hebrew and English to prepare for life beyond Germany's borders.
The memorial site is accessible during regular hours and informs visitors through exhibitions and documentary materials. It is recommended to allow adequate time to fully appreciate all the exhibits and personal accounts on display.
The fountain memorial, designed by former student Hermann Gurfinkel, carries the names of children who died during the Holocaust. This monument connects the school's history with remembrance of the victims.
