Jacques Dienstag, who had his last freely chosen residence at Bahnhofstraße 44, was the manager of the Knopf department store in Kaiserstraße. When the department stores of the Freiburg Knopf family were "Aryanized" (the Rastatt department store was then taken over by the Duchateau family and was known as "KD" to many Rastatters), Jacques Dienstag had to give up his post. He was deported in 1940 and murdered in Auschwitz on August 31, 1942.

The family of the merchant Karl Nachmann fortunately survived the Holocaust completely. Karl was a soldier in the First World War. We have some pictures of him and his children. After two daughters had already fled to France and the USA in 1933 and 1935, the couple Karl and Else Nachmann were able to flee to Palestine with the younger three daughters in 1937.

The Nachmann family:

In front of the house Am Grün 25 is remembered Salomon Kuppenheimer and his wife Karoline. Kuppenheimer was born on 28. 09. 1865 in Kuppenheim as the son of the horse dealer Joseph Kuppenheimer. He practiced the same profession as his father. During the First World War he served in the medical column of the Red Cross transporting the wounded from the train station to the military hospitals. His Red Cross identity card from 1929 and his identification card with the J for Jews from 1939 have been preserved in the archives. In 1940 he was deported to Gurs.

Butcher Albert Maier lived with his family in the house Am Grün 11. The family is commemorated by the Stolpersteine, which will be laid on May 19, 2014. They commemorate the people who inhabited the house:

Josef Mayer (* 1865), who lived with his wife Cäcilie née Rothschild (* 1866) in the house Murgtalstraße 5 (today Josefstraße) until 1940, loved his hometown Rastatt.  He ran a tobacco store in his home. The amateur poet has memorialized Rastatt in many poems. He was active in several associations, among other things also as president of the GroKaGe Rastatt, which finances the stumbling block, which is laid before the house, out of solidarity to the former active one. However, the Mayerseppl, as he was called, was not helped by his love for his hometown.
