    This somewhat hidden place with the "lion fountain" reminds of over 1000 victims from the time of the Nazi dictatorship, but also of the headmaster of the former Jewish school, who succeeded in bringing around 130 children to England and thus losing their lives rescue.

      One of the centers of Jewish life and learning in Cologne was located at St.-Apern-Straße 29-31 from 1884 to 1942. In addition to a synagogue, it included a teachers' seminar, the Moriah elementary school and, since 1919, the private Jawne Jewish reform secondary school. The “Private Jewish Reform-Realgymnasium with a secondary school for boys and girls” was the first and only Jewish high school in the Rhineland at the time. Today the Jawne learning and memorial site is located there, which keeps the history of the school and its students alive.
      Since 1990, the square between St.-Apern-Straße and Helenenstraße has been called Erich-Klibansky-Platz, after the last director of Jawne. There is also the Löwenbrunnen children's memorial, which commemorates the deportation and murder of over 1,100 Jewish children and young people from Cologne during National Socialism.
