Residence

Mirjam Pressler, born 18.06.1940 (as Mirjam Gunkel), died on 16.01.2019.

The Hirsch family came to Landshut in the 1890s and built the department store "Hermann Tietz Nachfolger" (management as directors of the department store chain) from 1901. Later, from 1961, the department store "Hertie" (now Galeria Karstadt Kaufhof) was relocated to the new building in Wittstraße (see Google/Streetview view in the links). The former department store is currently home to the perfumery "Douglas". The fashion house Brandl (buyer of the department store) existed in Vilsbiburg until December 31, 2020.

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.

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.
