[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
After the 1899 visit of Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany in the Holyland, one of the Kaiser's traveling companion, Colonel Joseph Freiherr von Ellrichshausen, initiated the formation of the society for the advancment of the German settlements in Palestine, in Stuttgart in 1899. It enabled the settlers to acquire land for new settlements by offering them low interest loans. A second wave of pioneer settlers founded Wilhelma (now Bene-Atarot)(1902) near Lod, Valhalla (1903) near the original Jaffa colony, followed by Betlehem, Galilee (1906) and Waldheim (1907). At its height, the Templer community in Palestine was 2,200 people strong.

Betlehem these days is a beautiful village, this is one of the oldest houses.
