Textile house "Wilhelm and Martin Ansbacher, Isargestade"
Following the termination of the rental agreement for the former shop in the old town, the Ansbachers found a new home for the textile store on the Isargestade. It existed there until the pogrom night of November 9-10, 1938, when the shop was stormed by SA/SS-NSDAP activists from Landshut, the stock partially looted and then closed.
Textile house "Wilhelm and Martin Ansbacher"
On October 1, 1932, the two second cousins Wilhelm and Martin Ansbacher opened the textile/clothing store at Altstadt 38 (today no. 86). It existed at this location until 1935, as the two landlords (retired members of the Reichswehr) were forced by the NSDAP to terminate the rental agreement. If they refused, their pension would have been cut and they would have been threatened with further consequences.
The Ansbachers found a new home for the business at Isargestade 728. The landlord there was financially independent and was unimpressed by the threats from the NSDAP.
Temporary residence of the Fritz Nathan Ansbacher family (and other people) "Jewish house"
From July 1940 until February 10, 1942, the family of Fritz Nathan Ansbacher was housed here after the forced sale of their home (Seligenthaler Str. 38). They lived here as a "Jewish house" with other Jewish families who also had to live in such Jewish houses after expropriations, forced sales, "Aryanizations", etc. From 10.02.1942 - 01.04.1942, the family lived at Seligenthaler Str. 60 (3rd floor), just a few doors down from Seligenthaler Str. 38, their former home.
Residence of the Fritz Nathan and Guido (Gustav) Ansbacher (later Anson) families
The two Ansbacher families lived in this house from 1932: the Fritz Nathan Ansbacher family and the Guido (Gustav Ansbacher) family with their children. The Ansbacher family ran the textile house "M. and W. Ansbacher", first in the old town and later on the Isargestade. The family originally came from Leutershausen near Ansbach and moved to Landshut in the fall of 1932, which they knew through business contacts and where anti-Semitism was not as great as in the Ansbach area.
