Abraham Herz Street

When a street name was sought in 2018 for the new street in the "Nördlich Brunnenstraße" development area in Remseck-Hochberg, the Remseck municipal council unanimously decided to name it after Abraham Herz. This was the first time that the Hochberg Jewish community was commemorated by a street name. Abraham Herz was a member of the Hochberg community council from 1845 to 1870 and thus, according to the description of the Oberamt Waiblingen from 1850, the first Jew in such an office in the Kingdom of Württemberg. He came to prosperity as a cattle dealer and supplier for the military and owned a house at Hauptstraße 18 in Hochberg. Herz, who was born in Hochberg in 1798, moved to Karlsruhe in 1870 to lead a life as a private citizen. He died there in 1876.
