Otto Schwabe (born on October 2 1894 in Hanau; died on September 22 1937 ibid) was a German Jüdian physician well known in the city of Hanau, who met his death under unexplained circumstances after being arrested by the Gestapo . Schwabe came from a Jewish family long established in Hanau, whose origin was the house first mentioned in 1689 Zum Schwaben in Hanauer Judengasse (today Nordstraße).

According to the Ravenstein plan of 1861, the house Klostergasse 59 was located exactly opposite  the exit of the street " Am Judenbrückchen ". In 1937, during the redevelopment of Frankfurt's Old Town, the houses in the northern part of Klostergasse were demolished. In 1944, during an air raid in 1944, the area around the Klostergasse was völlig destroyed.

On June 22, 1935, Benedict Lachmann wrote a letter to the Geschäftsstelle des Gau Groß-Berlin im Bund Reichsdeutscher Buchhändler requesting the placement of an apprentice for his bookstore.

Friedrich Canthal (* April 1848 in Hanau; † November 1922) was entrepreneur and local politician in Hanau.

Friedrich („Fritz“) Canthal was born in Hanauer Judengasse as the son of a brandy and liquor manufacturer. In 1863, after the death of his father, he took over the company and developed it into one of the leading companies in the industry in Südwest Germany. From 1876 he was a member of the Hanau Chamber of Commerce, whose president he was between 1891 and 1918.
