Street & Locale Names

The Jewish merchant and trained master tailor Simon (called Sally) Lennhoff (1871–1943) was posthumously honored on October 22, 1987. A 32-metre-long pedestrian passageway from Marktstrasse 8 to the parking lot of the Soltau City Service Centre has borne his name ever since - the Sally Lennhoff Walkway.

Sally Lennhoff and his family were victims of National Socialist persecution. His business was destroyed during the Kristallnacht in November 1938. He was later deported to the Theresienstadt ghetto, where he died on November 26 or 27, 1943 as a result of mistreatment.

This was significant, as cemeteries belonging to Jewish communities were historically often endangered. In 1936, the funds left behind, which were to be used for specific purposes, were confiscated by the then mayor Willy Klapproth.
