In this section of the website you will find information on persons of Jewish faith who lived in Brandenburg between about 1750 and 1930.

The content focus is on births, marriages and deaths.

The main sources are documents held in German archives, in particular the Brandenburg Main State Archive (Brandenburgische Landeshauptarchiv) and the Prussian Secret State Archives (Geheimes Staatsarchiv Preussischer Kulturbesitz).
