Maria Ostagowa, born on 8.6.1944 in Hamburg, died on 29.9.1944

Essener Street 54 (formerly camp Tannenkoppel, Weg 4, also called "Tarpenbek = Forced labor camp of the armaments industry in Hamburg Langenhorn)

Maria Ostagowa was born in Hamburg on June 8, 1944. Her mother of the same name, Maria Ostagowa, born on July 23, 1923 in Bugor/Schukalo, was single and presumably of Russian Orthodox faith, registered as "Orthodox". Deported from Russia, she was first forced to perform forced labor in Hamburg-Wandsbek at the Haus Neuerburg GmbH cigarette factory (Reemtsma, H. F. & Ph. F., Wandsbek plant), Feldstraße 97/107 (today Walddörferstraße). She was probably housed in the company camp at Keßlerweg or Hogrevestieg. In the 8th month of her pregnancy, she and Nadja Podwinskaja, who was also heavily pregnant, were transferred to the Tannenkoppel camp, Weg 4, in Hamburg-Langenhorn on April 5, 1944, and assigned to forced labor at Hanseatische Kettenwerk GmbH (HAK) and/or Deutsche Meßapparate GmbH (Messap).

On the day of the birth of her child, she, like Nadja Podwinskaja (see Annatoli Podwinskaja: www.stolpersteine-hamburg.de), was sent to the Women’s Hospital (Frauenklinik) Finkenau, Hamburg-Uhlenhorst. Eleven days after giving birth, on June 19, 1944, she and her daughter Maria were came back to the "Ostarbeiterlager Tannenkoppel." Little Maria had to spend the short time of her life in this forced labor camp. The nutritional and living conditions were completely inadequate for her.

She died there on September 29, 1944 at 8:00 am. The "Rechnungsführer" (accountant) Johannes Heller, "Ostarbeiterlager" Langenhorn, reported the death verbally to the registry office. In the death notice of the police chief, signed "i. A. Hillmann L. A.", "bronchitis" is stated as the cause of death without "official investigation" and without stating a doctor.

Maria was 3 months and 3 weeks old.

Eleven days after her death, her burial took place on October 10, 1944 in the Ohlsdorf cemetery, grave location: Q 39, row 7, no. 31. Her grave is no longer preserved. At the end of 1959 it was levelled together with at least 146 graves of children of forced laborers on area Q 39.
