German Colony, Haifa

The German Colony (Hebrew: המושבה הגרמנית, romanized: HaMoshava HaGermanit; Arabic: الحي الألمانية; German: Deutsche Kolonie) is an area of Haifa established in 1868 as a Christian German Templer Colony in Ottoman Palestine. It was the first of several colonies established by the group in the Holy Land. Others were founded in Sarona near Jaffa, Galilee and Jerusalem. Some of the original buildings are still surviving today, and the area continues to be visited, lived in, and in use.
