Jacobson School
The Jacobson School was established in 1801 by the Jewish reform educator and entrepreneur Israel Jacobson as a "religious and industrial school" in Seesen . It was an interfaith school for Jewish and Christian children, from which the Jacobson-Gymnasium Seesen later emerged.
The school was officially recognized as the first non-denominational simultaneous school in Germany as early as 1805 .
The plan for the establishment of the school was initially kept secret and the opening was accompanied by local protests. Jacobson received influential support from the Seesen court school Carl Friedrich Wilhelm Zincken .
