Residence: Abraham Herz and Adolf Falk

In 1810, Abraham Herz Sr. from Diedelsheim (today a district of Bretten) bought the house at Hauptstraße 18. After his death, his son Abraham Herz Jr. took over the property in 1829: A two-story gabled house with an outside staircase. Abraham Herz ran a cattle trade and supply business for the military here. In 1837 he was granted citizenship and in 1845 - probably as the first Jew in Württemberg - he was elected to the Hochberg municipal council. 

When Abraham Herz moved away from Hochberg in 1870, he sold the house to the butcher Ferdinand Lazarus Falk, son of the former Jewish teacher of Hochberg Lazarus Falk. In 1886 the house passed to Ferdinand's son Adolf Falk. Adolf Falk was active as a butcher and cattle dealer. He butchered animals, including fattened geese from Neckarrems. These were marked with sealing wax and sold mainly in Stuttgart. Falk's butcher shop with a very good reputation attracted customers from the surrounding area. 

Adolf Falk's wife Karoline died in 1925, and her well-preserved gravestone bears witness to her last burial in the Jewish cemetery in Hochberg. Adolf Falk was since then the last Jew in Hochberg. In 1939 he was still able to emigrate to his children in London, where he died on October 5, 1943. The children were partners in the company Falk Stadelmann in London, which was known worldwide for the "Veritas lamps" 

In July 2019, a stumbling stone in memory of Adolf Falk was laid by Gunter Demnig in the sidewalk in front of his former house. This is the first Stolperstein laid in Remseck.
