The American Colony in Jaffa, founded in the mid-1800s, and also known as the German Colony, will undergo a thorough renovation and preservation. The NIS 6 million project will be financed by the Tel Aviv municipality and the Hamashlima Leyafo municipal authority, through Ezra and Betzaron Neighborhood Co. Ltd. Work will begin next month.
The project includes Auerbach St., Bar Hoffman St., and Harebbi Hamevorach St. The area's infrastructures and street lighting will be replaced, power lines will be put underground, outside furniture will be installed, the streets will be closed to traffic, and gardens planted. Century-old buildings, such as the Jerusalem Hotel, the Emanuel Church, and Park Hotel (which hosted Kaiser Wilhelm II on his 1898 tour of the country), will be restored.
