Apparently for its poorest, the Sternberg Jewish community (established in 1531 under the spiritual leadership of Rabbi Abraham) bought a house from private Jewish property in 1569 and set up a Jewish poorhouse there, a shelter for the Jewish poor, "so that the poor people of the Nation ’. It was located in the eastern part of Vodní street, between Prostřední (today Střední) and Račí (Partyzánská) streets. In 1577, the Jewish community sold the house. After the Thirty Years' War, the damaged, unsaleable building of its last owner was abandoned and the plot later fell to the village. The name Židovská street was used for Vodní street long after the expulsion of Jews from the town - until 1620, although other names of this street also appear at the same time ("by the water", by the stream, am Stadtgraben, from 1779 Vodní).
