Stumbling stone in front of the Kreuzgasse grammar school in memory of Arthur Weinmann.

Arthur Weinmann graduated from high school in 1902 at the Kreuzgasse municipal high school in Cologne. At the University of Bonn , he studied from 1902 to 1905 law . Weinmann became a trainee lawyer in Cologne in 1905 and received his doctorate on September 7, 1905. From 1914 he worked at the District Court Council in Krefeld. From 1917 to 1918 he was a soldier in the First World War and in this capacity a teaching teacher. After his return to Krefeld, he married Alice Kaufmann from Krefeld on June 15, 1920. The marriage resulted in son Erich Weinmann (born May 26, 1921; died February 22, 2012) . In 1924 Arthur Weinmann was appointed district judge in Krefeld. In September 1933 he was compulsorily retired because of his "non-Aryan descent" (according to the so-called professional civil servants law ).

His last registered address until April 18, 1942 was Stadtgarten 12 in Krefeld. It was a so-called Jewish house that he and his wife had to move into at the end of 1938. On April 18, 1942, the official preparations for the deportation of Krefeld Jews to the East began. The Weinmann couple lived at Driessendorfer Strasse 3 in Krefeld for the past few days .

On April 22, 1942 Arthur Weinmann was deported to the Izbica ghetto , where his trace is lost ...

• Editor of the magazine: The young legal scholar . Journal for the study, training and examination of lawyers (1924–1943). The magazine was founded by Artur Weinmann at the end of 1924 (with issue 1 of December 15, 1924 and an essay “Introduction”) and published by him up to issue 22/1933 of November 15, 1933 (9th year). Paul Oertmann then took over the publication, which he continued until his death on May 22, 1938. A reason for the change or even a hint was not given. The reason for this may have been the editors' law of October 4, 1933, which presupposed “ Aryan descent ” for “ editors ” in Section 5 (3) . Up until the discontinuation of issue 2/3 of the 19th volume in 1943, Oberregierungsrat Karl Doerner (Berlin) was the editor.

Appreciation

The following facts are equivalent to an appreciation: In the magazine "Deutsche Justiz" from 1935, p. 597 r. Sp. The book Expert Opinion and Draft Judgment by Dr. Weinmann recommended as a literature for practical training. Only three weeks later (DJ 1935, p. 669 r. Col.) The author of the article revised his opinion solely from the fact that the author was Jewish.
