Law firm - Dr. Heidenheimer

Dr. Leo Heidenheimer was born on May 3, 1886 in Nuremberg, the son of a merchant. He studied in Munich, Geneva, Berlin and Erlangen. He successfully completed his law studies in Erlangen in 1911 with the award of a Dr. jur. In 1912, he was admitted to the bar at the Higher Regional Court and District Court of Nürnberg-Fürth. Leo Heidenheimer was a decorated and wounded front-line officer, but this did not prevent him from being expelled from the Nürnberg Bar Association in 1938 or from being sent to Dachau concentration camp from November 12, 1938 to December 21, 1938. In 1939, he emigrated to Argentina with his wife. Her income as a teacher essentially covered their living expenses there. Dr. Leo Heidenheimer died on 24 October 1954 in Buenos Aires.
