The Templars settled in Haifa late in the 19th century. Among the outstanding figures of the movement was Jacob Schumacher, an architect who designed the famous building in the German Colony known asSchumacher House. His son, Gotlieb Schumacher, was an engineer and archaeologist who contributed significantly to the study of the Golan and to the planning of Rishon LeZion wineries as well as to the railway from Damascus to Haifa. Gotlieb's daughter, Nelly Marchinkovsky-Schumacher, was awarded the title of Worthy Citizen of Haifa and wrote a book about the city and about the German Colony.
