Textile, haberdashery wholesale - J.M.Feibes

The department store (textile, haberdashery, toys) "J.M. Feibes" was founded already in 1849. Fritz Feibes was the last owner business, which was closed at the end of 1938 against the will of the owner. On 17.9.1938 the company assets were seized by "security order". From January 1, 1939, the continuation of the business was prohibited. The store was the victim of devastation during the Reich Pogrom Night. Anti-Jewish writings on the shop windows, looted window displays and destroyed interior furnishings, some of which were set on fire, remained. Fritz Feibes managed to escape to England in August 1939 to join his daughter. His wife Hedwig Feibes stayed behind. In July 1942, the deportation to Theresienstadt took place. After six months under undignified circumstances in the Theresienstadt ghetto, she was taken to the Auschwitz extermination camp on 23.1.1943 and murdered there.
