Jagur ( Hebrew יָגוּר, Arabic ياغور, DMG Yāġūr ) is a kibbutz in northern Israel on the eastern edge of the Carmel Mountains on the Haifa - Nazareth road .

Origin and development

Kibbutz Jagur was founded by Jewish pioneers on December 30, 1922 after the land was acquired by Yehoshua Hankin . The first settlers drained the swamps on the Kishon River , after which an agricultural business was developed. The name of the kibbutz is from the Arab village of Jajur (ياجور, DMG Yāǧūr ), which used to be nearby. In the Bible Jos 15,21  EU a place Jagur was mentioned, which however is localized in the Negev and was assigned to the tribal area of Judah .

In the years 1935/1936 the architect Tibor Schön built the Ludwig-Tietz training workshop based on plans by Erich Mendelsohn and the engineer Erich Kempinsky (בֵּית סֵפֶר לִמְלָאכָה עַל שֵׁם לוּדְבִיג טִיץ Bejt Sefer liMlachah Ludwig Tietz ) with boarding school. The Central-Verein (C.-V.) commissioned and financed the construction of the facility and named it in memory of Ludwig Tietzen (1897–1933), the deceased vice-chairman of C.V.

Ludwig Tietz training workshop in Jagur, around 1942

It was the third such educational institution in the country alongside the Technion craft school in Haifa and the Tel Aviv Max Pein School of the Histadruth . In the Ludwig Tietz training workshop, 60 German apprentices who came to the country through the Youth Aliyah learned a trade. The training workshop mainly offered vocational training in the field of construction and related professions.

In 1946 the British occupying forces discovered a large arsenal of weapons belonging to the Jewish underground organization Haganah in the settlement ; many Zionist leaders were subsequently arrested as part of the British Operation Agatha .

The settlement was for a long time the largest collective settlement in Israel; Jagur is still one of the largest kibbutzim today. In 2018 the kibbutz had 1604 inhabitants. Agriculture and industry are important areas of economic activity in the kibbutz.
