Apartment/Flat

In 1908, the neo-baroque villa and the coach house were built by Hans von Bleichröder as the summer residence of the Jewish Bleichröder banking family.

The Goldschmidt House was built in 1538 in the old town of Warburg. It is located near the former synagogue of the Jewish community of Warburg.

The house was founded by the Asshoeer family and was owned by them until 1722. 

Jacob Schapiro – Villa ‚Gabi Nora‘

Jacob Schapiro (b. November 6 1885 in Odessa; d. April 17 1942 in New York) was a Jewish car dealer, cab entrepreneur and stock speculator in Berlin. For a time, he was the largest car dealer in Germany.

The villa on the beach promenade was built around 1910 in the colonial style of German West Africa. The villa bore the name of his daughter ‚Gabi Nora‘ until 1936.

Jacob Schapiro was forced to sell the villa due to Nazi reprisals.

The villa was built in 1883 in the center of Heringsdorf. The owner was the Kommerzienrat Hermann Berthold, master mechanic and founder of Berthold Messing AG from Berlin.

In 1905, the Berlin banker Hans von Bleichröder, son of Bismarck's banker Gerson von Bleichröder, bought the villa. Gerson von Bleichröder was ennobled in 1872 as the second Jew in Prussia. As a representative of the Rothschild banks in the financial center of Berlin, he was one of the most important private bankers of his time.

The Villa Oppenheim at Delbrückstra e 11 in Heringsdorf is one of the best-known examples of the villas on the island of Usedom.

It was built in 1883 as a summer villa for the family of the banker Benoît Oppenheim sen. (1842–1931). It is no longer possible to say for certain who planned the neoclassical white building on the beach promenade, which is adorned with four Corinthian columns, but it is possible that the building was designed by the Berlin architect Hermann von der Hude.

The following entry can be found in the 1903 edition of the Berlin address book: Baginsky Adolf, Dr.med. Kais. und Kaiserin Friedrich - Kinder Krankenh., a. o.- Prof. d. Kinderheilkunde a. d. Univers., W. Potsdamerstr.5 I (Tel. VI 2017.)  Adolph Aron Baginsky was born on May 22, 1843 in Ratibor. His parents were the merchant Abraham Baginsky and Amalie Baginsky, née Lustig. Adolph Baginsky was married to Clara Therese Kristeller, who was born in Berlin on October 15, 1858.

The Jewish doctor Dr. Glaser (born 1889) worked as a civil servant in Stettin until 1933. He was forced to retire due to the "Law for the Restoration of the Professional Civil Service" and moved to Ueckermünde. By the „Fourth Ordinance to the Reich Citizens Act“ of July 25, 1938, he and all other doctors of Jewish origin were stripped of their license to practice medicine. He was allowed to continue practising his profession under the title of „Krankenbehandler“, but only for the treatment of Jewish citizens.

Margarete Simon née Polajewer, widowed Ruschin, was born on January 1, 1892 in Skrzetusz (German Schrotthaus). She was widowed and married to Julius Simon, born on October 16, 1886 in Miłakowo (German Liebstadt).

The Jewish businesswoman Margarete Simon lived in Ueckerm&nuuml;nde until 1936. They then moved to Berlin with her second husband, from where they were deported on the 27th Berlin East Transport to the Auschwitz extermination camp on 29 January 1943 and murdered.

After the National Socialists seized power, the Ritterbrand family was humiliated, hounded, marginalized and harassed by the population. Their professional existence was destroyed. Some family members were allowed to emigrate to Palestine in 1936, but Norbert Ritterbrand managed to emigrate to the USA in 1941:

Norbert Ritterband (born 1904) Emigration 1941 USA

Emmy Ritterband (born 1906) Emigration 1936 Palästina

Julius Ritterband (born 1908) Emigration 1936 Palästina

August Senger was born on August 1, 1965 in Ueckerm&nuuml;nde. During the Reichspogromnacht in November 1938, August Senger was taken from his home and had to read from the Torah in the castle courtyard amid ridicule and mockery. On August 27, 1942, he was deported to the Theresienstadt ghetto and died there.
