In the midst of the historic city center lies the historic Jewish Alley, where several Jewish residents of Hachenburg settled during the early modern period. Before the construction of the synagogue on Alexanderring in 1896/97, the services of the Jewish community were held in private homes, including in the Jewish Alley. The renaming of "Jewish Alley" to "Old Post Street" in 1933 during the National Socialist era was reversed in 1997, and the street regained its historical name.
A memorial stone at the corner near the reading garden commemorates the Jewish victims of National Socialist terror Gedenkstein.
In this alley, which has been home to many Jewish fellow citizens for centuries, you will find many half-timbered houses.
