Life

A few months after the founding of the football and cricket club Eintracht 1895 Braunschweig on December 15, 1895, Aronheim joined the club. He was first mentioned in the club's history in the match report from September 29, 1901, when he was defeated by the first team on Leonhardplatz - as left winger - against Magdeburg FC Viktoria 1896 with 1: 5. On March 25, 1903 he was elected to the board of the association. Aronheim wrote club history on March 29, 1905, when he and 25 other Eintracht members decided to build their first own sports field on Helmstedter Strasse , which was inaugurated on October 8, 1905. To finance the small stadium, it was necessary to take out a loan of 5,000 marks ; The members had to provide guarantees in the same amount . At the time, Aronheim took over the largest share of 3,600 marks, the remaining 1,400 marks were shared by six other members.

Stumbling blocks for Adolf and Idel Aronheim in front of their last residence Inselwall 4.

He was a convert and since 1921 married the Christian Lucie Else Ida (called Idel ) Miehe (born May 8, 1892) from Königslutter . Because of his Jewish descent, Aronheim, like many others, was imprisoned in the Buchenwald concentration camp on November 10, 1938, and released in mid-December as part of the November pogroms . Immediately before his deportation to the Theresienstadt concentration camp on May 4, 1943, he put an end to his life by ingesting poison. On May 10, 1943, he was buried in the main Protestant cemetery in Braunschweig after his body had been cremated .

At his last freely chosen residence in Braunschweig, Inselwall  4 (the original house was destroyed in the Second World War), there is a stumbling block in his memory; also one for his wife Idel and others for his mother Helene, his younger brother Walter and his wife Lilly.
