The house at Schlossstrasse 4 had been owned by the merchant Israel Salomon since the 1840s and was sold to the Wertheimer family in the 1860s. In 1920, Artur Wertheimer purchased it and set up a medical practice. However, Artur Wertheimer soon moved to Haag in Holland, where he can be traced to 1931 at the latest. In 1939, he had to sell the house, which he had bought for 75000 marks, far below its value,  since, according to the city administration, it allegedly had considerable redevelopment arrears.
