The Heritage of the German Colony

The German Colony was built in 1869 by the Templar Association that arrived from Germany for the purpose of preparing the settlers of "The Country of G-d", (The Land of Israel) and widely influenced the process of modernization in the land of Israel and the city of Haifa in the area of building, agriculture, transportation, hotels and commerce and industry. during the Second World War, the Templars turned into enemies because of their German ancestry and were finally driven out by the British from the land of Israel. Today, the German Colony is one of the major, and especially vibrant areas of entertainment in the City.
