Albert Rosenberg * 1880
Eiffestraße 243 (Hamburg-Mitte, Hamm)
1941 Lodz
ermordet
Albert Rosenberg, born on 28 July 1880, deported on 25 Oct. 1941 to Lodz
Eiffestrasse 243
Albert Rosenberg moved from Osnabrück to Hamburg on 1 Jan. 1935, resided at Eiffestrasse 243, and joined the German-Israelitic Community. His parents were Isaak and Julie Rosenberg, née Weinberg. Isaak Rosenberg operated a livestock trade since 1871. Albert attended the Bürgerschule [a secondary school for the middle classes] in Osnabrück. He was trained at a butcher’s shop in Ibbenbüren and by his father, whose business he joined.
On 14 June 1907, Albert Rosenberg and the merchant’s daughter Martha Rosenthal, born on 18 June 1885 in Annen, were married. They moved to a five-room apartment in Osnabrück. Their son Heinz was born there on 1 July 1908.
Martha brought into the marriage a dowry of 20,000 RM (reichsmark), which was used to expand Isaak Rosenberg’s business. Until 1916, when Albert Rosenberg took to the field in the First World War, the assets had grown to 200,000 RM. After his return from the war in 1919, he took over the operation, managing it until 1934. The company’s financial weakness due to the inflation prompted him to admit a partner.
Son Heinz worked as a commercial clerk in a dairy. In 1927, the Rosenberg couple separated. Alfred Rosenberg left the apartment to his wife and son, paying alimony, even later, from his assets subjected to foreign exchange control. Heinz moved to the Netherlands in 1930 and emigrated to Palestine, where his mother followed him in Oct. 1935.
From 1930 until 1934, Albert Rosenberg ran a large-scale slaughtering business in Osnabrück. He then left the company because of anti-Semitic comments by his partner and moved to Hamburg. He successfully worked as a large-scale butcher, simultaneously pushing ahead with emigration, however. Apparently, these plans failed due to his age.
By this time, he lived as a subtenant at Schäferkampsallee 48. Since 1937, he was no longer allocated any livestock, and he was banned from any business activities at the slaughterhouse.
When his marriage was divorced in Nov. 1938, the legal proceedings had to take place with legal aid. By then, he already lived at Grindelallee 45 with Braff. Another person residing with Lazar and Emma Braff, née de Vries, was her sister, Minna Weiss. The Braff couple was "resettled” ("ausgesiedelt”) to Minsk on 8 Nov. 1941.
Albert Rosenberg strove in vain toward returning to his family in Palestine or, respectively, toward getting their assistance for emigrating to Palestine or the USA. On 25 Oct. 1941, he along with Minna Weiss was deported to Lodz and assigned to a room with eight persons and no kitchen at Gänsenstrasse 7/5 on 31 October. His occupation was indicated to be that of a merchant. On 16 Nov. 1941, he married Minna Weiss, née de Vries, born on 17 Aug. 1885 in Hannover, according to Jewish rites. As his deregistration indicates, he was "resettled” ("ausgesiedelt”) on 15 May 1942, which equaled deportation to the Chelmno extermination camp, where he was murdered. The circumstances of Minna Rosenberg or, respectively, Weiss are not known.
