"At Mittelstrasse 116, there was an egg merchant”, someone remembered 60 years later. The man was Joseph Kligler, born December 28th, 1870 in Probuzna. He and his first wife Batia, née Mondschein, born December 18th, 1872, came from Galicia; both were members of the German-Israelitic Community. They sent their only son Ignaz to the Talmud Tora School. Ignaz was born on February 21st, 1908 in Altona and absolved a commercial apprenticeship after finishing school. Batia Kligler died on July 17th, 1928.
Egg merchant Joseph Kligler was a co-founder of the professional association "Vereinigter Eierhändler-Verein 1928 e. V.” and was its president from 1928 to 1930. He moved his business premises from Schultzweg 35/37 to Eimsbütteler Chaussee 140/142 in 1930 and then to Elbstrasse 63/65 in 1932.
From 1928 to 1933, Joseph Kligler also owned a villa at Körnerstrasse 18, which he had rented out; its loss was due to private reasons: the real estate agent hat collected the mortgage installments, but failed to pay them. The villa was foreclosed, the real estate agent committed suicide.
Joseph Kligler married again, Cäcilie Weiner, born on November 12th, 1884. She brought her son Siegmund, born September 1st, 1904 in Probuzna, into the marriage. The family enjoyed a comfortable home at Weidenallee 63a. The sons Ignaz and Siegmund started working at their father’s business. Siegmund married Ruth Lederfeind, born October 28th, 1911 in Gelsenkirchen; in 1930, they lived at Kreuzweg 2.
In 1934, the state "Reichsstelle für Eierhandel” took over the complete egg trade. The importers were eliminated, and every retailer was allotted a certain contingent. Joseph Kligler scaled down his business and opened an egg shop at Mittelstrasse 116.
In 1938, he was forced to give up his business and moved to Saling 8. He and his wife Cäcilie had to change addresses another three times up to 1941. On December 6th, 1941, they were deported from their last residence at Heinrich-Barth-Strasse 8, to the Jungfernhof estate in Riga.
Their son Ignaz succeeded in emigrating to Argentina in 1938. His half-brother Siegmund was detained at the KZ Sachsenhausen, probably in the course of the November pogrom. It is unclear how he fared after that. It seems that he survived the Shoah. His wife Ruth returned to Gelsenkirchen and was deported from there on January 27th, 1942, also to Riga. It is not known when and how Cäcilie, Joseph and Ruth Kligler perished in Riga.
