Abstract
European communities competed at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century to prove their presence in the Jerusalem district, especially the German community. It also stood out in the fields of health and education due to its importance in the lives of the population and to leave a good impression on them. It paid attention to this aspect proven by the documents and various sources through the establishment of some schools along the district, especially within the settlements. These settlements were built as a result of focusing on educating the children of the German community residing within them and in major cities such as Jerusalem, Jaffa, and Bethlehem. This study sheds light on the role it played in establishing these schools and the various endowments it endowed on them as well as their interest in the health sector to fight communicable diseases and provide services to the population. In addition, it established several distinguished health centres according to the modern European medical system until today, this interest has led to raising the status of Jerusalem District in the field of education and health, from which all sects have benefited positively.
