Moritz Thalheimer was the first Jewish cattle dealer in Winnenden. He came from Affaltrach in the Württemberg district of Weinsberg and came to the town in 1892 with his family - his wife Karoline and their three children Bertha, August and Anna. He had already been involved in trade beforehand. On May 12, 1892, he announced his business in the Winnender Volks- und Anzeigeblatt: "We will continue the livestock trade we have been operating in the same way as before and will provide a solid service.

Thekla Kauffmann was an important Stuttgart personality. She campaigned for women's suffrage, was the first Jewish member of the first state parliament of Württemberg (1919) and later helped Jews to prepare their departure from Germany. She also worked for many years at the state employment office until she was dismissed in 1933 due to the ban on Jews working in the civil service. She was able to emigrate from Germany in 1941 and survived the Holocaust. She died in 1980 at the age of 97.

Adolf Herold lived here with his family; he came from Schopfloch in central Franconia and had started out in Metzingen in 1910 as a seller of textile goods. In 1922, he opened a knitwear factory at Schillerstra e 13. His wife Jenny, née Goldschmidt, was born on October 28, 1880 in Vacha. Adolf Herold was friends with the Metzingen factory owner Hugo F. Boss for many years.

Richard Frank's house towards the end of the war.

Leipzig was one of the largest communities in the German-speaking world before 1933, with over 11,000 members. Immediately after the liberation, only twenty-four people of Jewish origin were still living in the city. But as early as May 15, 1945, the Jewish Religious Community of Leipzig was able to reconstitute itself and move back into the former offices in Löhrstrasse. Richard Frank took over the chairmanship and the community grew significantly in the coming months thanks to returnees.

Berthold Levy was a member of the Frank family's knitwear factory in Leipzig. He died on April 23, 1939 after a long illness, also as a result of severe mistreatment during 10 days of imprisonment after the Reichsprogromnacht on November 8/9, 1938.

Residential home of Emmy and Ernst Rubsehnsohn from 1936/37-1938.

After the November pogrom in 1938, Ernst Rubensohn was forced to sell his shares in the family company – apparently even at market prices. The couple moved to Berlin, to a villa in Grunewald, to prepare for their own emigration. The Rubensohns had to sell their house in Kassel and almost all of their possessions in order to finance their emigration. Ultimately, their only option was to flee to Shanghai, where they could enter without a visa.

The couple initially lived at Hermannstrasse 3 in Kassel and moved into a spacious villa at Terrasse 13 in the fall of 1914, which they later purchased. In this exclusive residential area, they were in „the best of company“. Neighbors included the families of the Rosenzweig (with Franz Rosenzweig) and Wertheim merchants and the textile manufacturer Baumann.

Emmy Rubensohn received prominent guests from the music, art and culture scene in her salon. She begins to keep a guest book. Emmy Rubensohn heads the music section of the Jewish Cultural Association in Kassel.
