Schmilinskystrasse 25
The Hamburg resident Ce(ä)sar Meyer was married and lived with his wife and their children on the third floor of the residential building designed in Gründerzeit style located at Schmilinskystrasse 25. Since his criminal justice file was destroyed, only few biographical data about him have been preserved.
On 26 Jan. 1945, he was committed to the Hamburg-Stadt pretrial detention facility on charges of an "unnatural sexual offense” ("widernatürliche Unzucht”) in accordance with Sec. 175 of the Reich Criminal Code (Reichsstrafgesetzbuch – RStGB). He was deemed "fit for outside labor.” Five days later, he was transferred to the central prison hospital of the Hamburg-Stadt pretrial detention facility, where he died on 1 Feb. 1945. The official cause of death indicated was "pneumonia, cardiac insufficiency.”
