Memorial Signs for the former tenants of Tengstraße 26,
Tengstraße 26

On 8 July 2021, a commemorative event was held in front of Tengstraße 26 for five former residents of the building.

The couple Fanny and Julius Bär had lived at Tengstraße 26 since 1936. In 1938, the National Socialists revoked the licence to practise as a lawyer from Dr Julius Bär, who was managing director of Partnach Chemische Gesellschaft Bauer & Co. At the end of 1938, Dr Julius Bär was imprisoned in Dachau concentration camp for several weeks. The Gestapo deported Fanny and Julius Bär to Piaski in April 1942. The exact circumstances of their deaths are not known.

Fanny Holzinger lived with her relatives Fanny and Julius Bär at Tengstraße 26 from 1938. The trained infant nurse contracted polio in autumn 1938 and remained paralysed in her arms and legs. Unable to walk, she had to move to the ‘Judensiedlung’ in Berg am Laim in 1942. From there, the Gestapo deported her to the Theresienstadt ghetto in July 1942. Fanny Holzinger never arrived there. She probably died during the transport.

The painter and commercial artist Franziska Schlopsnies worked at the Bruckmann publishing house until 1944. After her divorce from the painter Albert Schlopsnies in 1922, she lived at Tengstraße 26 from 1933-39, where her daughter Erika also lived for several years. At the beginning of 1944, the Gestapo deported her to Auschwitz, where she was murdered by the SS in December 1944.

Emilie Schwed had lived with her husband Fritz Schwed in Nuremberg. After her husband's death, she lived from 1933 with her daughter Else Samuel at Tengstraße 26, who, like her sister Mathilde Mahler, emigrated to the USA with her family. Emilie Schwed had to move to the Milbertshofen barracks camp in 1941 and then to the Jewish old people's home in Kaulbachstraße. In June 1942, she was deported by the Gestapo to the Theresienstadt ghetto, where she died in September 1942 as a result of the catastrophic conditions.
