German Jews (also called Ashkenazic Jews) moved to the rural areas of Groningen province in the 1570s. By 1672, German Jewish communities had been established in Rotterdam, Amersfoort, Leeuwarden, and Amsterdam. A community of Portuguese Jews (also called Sephardic Jews) began at Amsterdam in the late 1590s. One hundred years later Portuguese Jews were also found in the towns of Middelburg, Rotterdam, Naarden, Maarssen, Nijkerk, and ’s-Gravenhage. Jews were not allowed to settle in many places until after 1700. Only German Jews moved into the country after 1700. | German Jews (also called Ashkenazic Jews) moved to the rural areas of Groningen province in the 1570s.
