Butcher and cattle dealer Joseph Salomon

In 1812, Nathan Salomon from Südpreußen settled in Nieder Ochtenhausen. He was a butcher and tradesman by profession. Around 1900, his son Heinrich Salomon moved into house no. 64. In 1909, the Salomon family finally moved to Bremervörde after Joseph (Julius) Salomon, the son of Heinrich Salomon, acquired the property at Flutstraße 71 (formerly Lokal „Alt Bremervörde“, Bremer Straße 14). In November 1909, Joseph was granted the civil right. The butcher Joseph was active in Bremervörde as a cattle dealer, while he leased the butcher's shop to Claus Sethmann. He also leased the inn belonging to the property in Flutstrasse. In 1910, Joseph founded an agricultural business in Engeo (later Pferdehof Bohlmann, today a residential area around the street "Am Pferdehof"), for which he acquired large areas of land, cultivated them and had numerous farm buildings erected on them in the following years, including the first silos in Engeo in 1934 and 1936. Joseph's wife Emma came from Thüringen. They had three children. Their youngest son Hans Heinrich (born in 1924) was no longer allowed to attend secondary school due to the National Socialists now in power, although Joseph Salomon had actively participated in the First World War and was awarded the Cross of Honor for Frontline Combatants on July 1, 1935 in the name of the Führer and Reich Chancellor Adolf Hitler. During the Nazi regime, Joseph Salomon was forced to give up his farm. In 1938, more and more problems were caused for him. For example, he was charged with „usurious cattle trading“. As a result, his farm was placed under fiduciary administration and eventually had to be sold to the Hannoversche Siedlungsgesellschaft at a great loss. By 1939, all the Salomons had emigrated to the USA. The entire estate was confiscated. Joseph's sisters Sophie and Berta perished in the Theresienstadt and Auschwitz concentration camps.
