The Jewish Theological Seminary of Breslau was an institution in Breslau for the training of rabbis, founded under the will of Jonah Fränckel, and opened in 1854. It was the first modern rabbinical seminary in Central Europe, an academic precursor to today’s Conservative movement, and a center of Wissenschaft des Judentums. The seminary, at what is now an empty building plot on 14-18 Wlodkowica Street, was closed in 1938 by Nazi Party officials following Kristallnacht.
