Walking tours on Jewish history in Solingen<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Funded
Funded by the Federal Ministry of the Interior, Building and Community by resolution of the German Bundestag.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

As part of #2021JLID<\/a>, the year of celebration marking 1,700 years of Jewish life in Germany, the association Max-Leven-Zentrum Solingen e. V.<\/a> examines the multi-facetted life and work of Jews in Solingen \u2013 from 1568, when they were first mentioned in the historical records of the \u201cKlingenstadt\u201d (\u201cCity of Blades\u201d), onwards. The tours cover the history of the Coppel industrialist family, the dedication of Jewish doctors and the role of Jewish merchants in the emergent centre of Solingen-Ohligs. In the course of time, it was possible to re-establish contact with a number of descendants from families that had been expelled from their hometown during the Nazi regime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Depending on their respective distance, the tours<\/a> will be offered as walking tours or can be covered by bike (for groups). They will be supported by an audio system. All tours will be documented on this website and are available in German<\/a>, „Einfache Sprache“<\/a> (plain language), English and Turkish<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Individual tours can be arranged via info@max-leven-zentrum.de<\/a> or +49 212 5947080.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jewish Merchants in Solingen-Ohligs<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

by Armin Schulte and Daniela Tobias, translated by Miriam Braun<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since the end of the 19th century, Jewish merchants, located along the D\u00fcsseldorfer Stra\u00dfe, formed an inherent part of the emergent centre in Solingen-Ohligs. However, after the National Socialists seized power, they rapidly became the target of antisemitic Nazi propaganda. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jewish Doctors<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

by Dr. Horst Sassin, translated by Miriam Braun<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The tour remembers Dr. Paul Berkenau, Dr. Emil Kronenberg, the couple Dr. Ida and Dr. Walter Marcus, Dr. Erna R\u00fcppel and Prof. Dr. Eduard Schott. Their fate agitated and shocked many of their patients, but that could not save the doctors from having to close their medical practices, from having to leave the country or go into hiding or, as was the case with Dr. Kronenberg, from being deported. Dr. Kronenberg and Dr. R\u00fcppel returned to Solingen after the war was over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Coppel Family<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

by Dietmar Gaida<\/em> and Simone Sassin, translated by Martina R. Jones<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Around 1770, the butcher and tradesman Coppel Samuel moved from the Frankfurt area to Solingen. In 1821, his son Alexander Coppel founded the steel ware company that later operated globally and remained family-owned until 1936. In honour of his diverse social and political commitment, Gustav Coppel became honorary citizen of the city of Solingen in 1906.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
