Ludwig Landgrebe and Ilse Maria Landgrebe, née Goldschmidt

Ilse Maria Landgrebe, née Goldschmidt, was born in Reinbek in 1906. Her parents - Arthur Goldschmidt (lawyer) and Toni Katharina-Maria Jeanette née Horschitz - were Christians of Jewish origin.

Ilse Maria Goldschmidt married the phenomenologist and philosopher Ludwig Landgrebe in 1933.

Because of his Jewish-Christian wife Ilse Maria, Ludwig Landgrebe fled to Prague in 1935.

In the wake of the German occupation of Czechoslovakia, he emigrated with his wife from Prague to Belgium in 1939. After the Nazi occupation of both countries, he and his family returned to Reinbek on Kückallee in 1940.

The Arthur Goldschmidt villa had to be sold in 1941 (Ordinance on the Use of Jewish Property - RGBl. 1938 I, p. 1709).

On November 26, 1941, Arthur Goldschmid sold it to his friend Carl Dobbertin. He then left it rent-free to Goldschmidt's non-Jewish son-in-law Ludwig Landgrebe and his family. The Landgrebes survived the Nazi years of terror.
