Julia Gutmann was the first child of Nathan and Cäcilie Gutmann, née Freund. Further children followed: Alfred on 26.12.1866, Manfred on 17.12.1869, Hedwig on 30.3.1871 and last Eugen Peter on 8.12.1874. All were born in Hamburg in an apartment in the Eimsbütteler Chaussee. Their father Nathan Gutmann worked as a merchant. We do not know what he was dealing with. We also know nothing about Julia's school education and possible professional training. The family was of Jewish origin, but Protestant.

As an adult Julia Gutmann lived 1901 in the Grindelallee 62, whether she was employed, we do not know. In 1905 she moved to Brahmsallee 6, in 1906 to Schlump 53 and – after her marriage on 23.3.1907 – together with her non-Jewish husband Gustav Arthur Weber until 1908 in Goethestraße 6. They lived then in Humboldtstraße 4 and from 1914 in Colonnaden 40a.

Gustav Arthur was born on 15.3.1871 in Schönefeld near Leipzig. He worked like Julia’s father as a merchant, he traded with caviar imports. The couple did not have children.

Gustav died on 6.3.1932 in the apartment in the Colonnaden 46 in Hamburg and was buried at the non-Jewish cemetery Ohlsdorf in the grave of the Gutmann family.

His brother Alfred now took care of Julia. She moved to him in his flat at Flottbeker Chaussee 195a (today Elbchaussee). He supported her until her deportation with a monthly pension of 150 RM. In 1941 Julia lived in a room in Isestraße 21 near Recha Lübke. Then she had to move into the "Judenhaus" Beneckestraße 6. From there she was deported to Theresienstadt on 15.7.1942, deported to Treblinka on 21.9.1942 and murdered.

Julia's brother "Mannas", Manfred, married Rosa Epstein, born on 12.4.1872 in Hamburg, on 8.3.1908 in Hamburg. Both were Jewish. They first lived in Jungfrauenthal 28, later in Bogenstraße 25. Like Julia, they were deported to Theresienstadt on 15.7.1942. Manfred Gutmann died there on 15.8.1942, his wife Rosa on 5.3.1943.

Julia's brother Alfred was on the deportation list for 19.7.1942 to Theresienstadt, he was also deported to Treblinka on 21.9.1942 and murdered there (see www.Stolpersteine-hamburg.de).

Julia's sister Hedwig fled to Scotland and survived there.
Other relatives had already died before the Nazi era: Brother Eugen Peter was found dead on 1.11.1905 in Hamburg, Brahmsallee 6. The cause of death is not known.

The mother Cäcilie Gutmann died on 13.6.1926, the father Nathan Gutmann on 19.7.1931 both in Hamburg. They were buried on the non-Jewish cemetery Ohlsdorf in the grave A.G.32 No. 67 next to their son Eugen Peter.
