Life

Benno Bing was born in Würzburg as the son of the Jewish businessman Adolf Bing and his wife Therese, née Niedermaier . He was a great-great-grandson of the Chief Rabbi Abraham Bing . After his father died in 1878 during a spa stay in Bad Reichenhall, Benno Bing attended the Maximiliansgymnasium in Munich from 1884 to 1894 and lived here at various addresses as a sublet. On the occasion of his Abitur, he stated that he intended to study law , but became a businessman. On November 1, 1909, his move to Munich from Berlin is documented, and in 1910 he left the Jewish community. From 1913 to 1933 he was next to the artistic directors Erich Ziegel , Otto Falckenberg and at times Hugo Ball commercial director at the Münchner Kammerspiele and from 1928/29 also deputy director of the Barnowsky Theaters in Berlin.

In October 1933 he emigrated to Prague, was registered in Paris on April 1, 1935 with a passport issued by the German consulate in Prague, and on December 6, 1938 he traveled on to Plouër-sur-Rance in Brittany . On November 21, 1940, he went to La Ferté-Bernard in the Sarthe department , where he was arrested on October 9, 1942 and initially taken to the Mulsanne camp (Sarthe). On October 18, 1942, he was transferred to the Drancy assembly camp , northeast of Paris, and finally deported to Auschwitz on November 6, 1942.

His marriage to Karoline Tausend, a Catholic denomination, had been divorced in absentia in 1938. All four children in this marriage survived the Holocaust.

His brother was not the actor and radio play director Max Bing , but the Munich lawyer Max Bing (1873 in Würzburg - 1929 in Munich).
