Maximilian Nagel, born on 25 May 1883 in Elberfeld, deported on 25 Oct. 1941 to Lodz, deported on 14 May 1942 to Chelmno
Hirtenstrasse 13 (Hirtenstrasse 14)
Maximilian Nagel’s parents were Moritz Nagel and Theresia, née Marx. Maximilian moved to Hamburg in 1924 and joined the German-Israelitic Community. He was the owner of a prosperous factory for women’s undergarments at Königstrasse 51. Due to the world economic crisis, he ran into financial difficulties, though managing to remedy them and increase his income substantially up to the company’s "Aryanization” in 1939.
Maximilian Nagel was married twice. He designated himself "as having no religious creed.” At least his second wife was Protestant and probably "Aryan;” both wives are not among the persons killed in the Nazi persecution. The marriages did not produce any children.
On 23 Mar. 1939, Maximilian Nagel obtained the tax clearance certificate (Unbedenklichkeitsbescheinigung) for emigration to Montevideo. It expired. The reasons for this are unknown.
Maximilian Nagel moved from Hirtenstrasse to Rothenbaum, and repeatedly changed his address and residential district after that. On 25 Oct. 1941, he was deported from Rothenbaumchaussee 187 to the Lodz Ghetto. There he lived at Hamburger Strasse 6/3 and had a room of his own. The registration forms do not reveal the occupation he practiced. He was "resettled” ("ausgesiedelt”) on 14 May 1942, meaning that he was murdered in the Chelmno extermination camp.
