The department store (textile, haberdashery, toys) "J.M. Feibes" was founded already in 1849. Fritz Feibes was the last owner business, which was closed at the end of 1938 against the will of the owner. On 17.9.1938 the company assets were seized by "security order". From January 1, 1939, the continuation of the business was prohibited. The store was the victim of devastation during the Reich Pogrom Night. Anti-Jewish writings on the shop windows, looted window displays and destroyed interior furnishings, some of which were set on fire, remained.

Erich, Erwin and Max Levi were the last Jewish pupils in Ellwangen. A memorial stele in front of the entrance to the Peutinger Gymnasium in Ellwangen is intended to commemorate the former Jewish students. The memorial stele was erected in 2003.

Erich Liebermann-Roßwiese was deported to the Riga ghetto on  January 21, 1942, and murdered there that same year.
