HISTORICAL RESEARCH SUMMARY: The house in Nehorai St. 05/2017
HISTORICAL RESEARCH SUMMARY: The house in 15 Hildesheimer St. 05/2017 The story of the house exhibiting the installation Qatamon: Annotated Map is interweaved with the story of the neighborhood, which begins in the 1920s. The neighborhood stretches east of St. Simeon Monastery, which probably gave it its name: in Greek, kata tōi monastēriōi means “under the monastery”. After the First World War, the Greek Orthodox Church began selling off properties, including lands around the St. Simeon Monastery, first sold in large blocks to members of the religious community, and then to other communities. Although the house on Hildesheimer Street is located in an area now commonly referred to as the German Colony, during the British Mandate period (1918-1948) this was part of Lower Qatamon, stretching between the street now called Kovshei Qatamon (Hebrew for “Conquerors of Qatamon”) and the area now called Valley of Rephaim.
