Brandy & Liqueur factory, Cigars en-gros - L. Steigerwald

Louis Steigerwald founded the Steigerwald liqueur factory in 1869. Later, the sons Siegfried, Julius and Oskar Steigerwald inherited the liqueur factory "Steigerwald AG". From 1936, the so-called "Aryanization" of the company took place. At the end of 1937, the Steigerwald brothers transferred their shares to a Heilbronn bank under pressure. From then on, the company bore the name "Lucca". After the loss of the company, the Steigerwald couple moved to Berlin with daughter Suse Steigerwald. The daughter Edith Steigerwald had already emigrated to England in 1937. In April 1940, Suse Steigerwald also managed to escape. Siegried and Nanny Steigerwald remained in Berlin and were deported to Lodz - Litzmannstadt on October 24, 1941. Siegfried Steigerwald was murdered there on February 27, 1942 and Nanny Steigerwald on April 5, 1942. The fate of Siegfried and Fanny Steigerwald is commemorated by two Stolpersteine in Moltkesraße 23 in Heilbronn.
