Tableware and kitchenware store Theodor Rubel

Theodor Rubel was born on 19.11.1884 in Hochspeyer. 

In World War I he was in the infantry and fought in Flanders, Champagne and at Verdun.

His business, which he built up after the war, was located opposite the so-called "Brown House", where the NSDAP district leadership had its headquarters, so that it was dangerous for the population to shop there already since 1933. When he had to give up his business, he was financially faced with nothing.

Out of despair über the exclusion and persecution by the Nazis, which led to his hopeless situation, he took his own life on 2.7.1938, at the age of 53 years, by poisoning himself with gas.
