death

Pulvermann was arrested by the Gestapo in 1941 . He was accused of alleged foreign exchange offenses and a violation of the treachery law . The real reason for the persecution was his father's Jewish grandparents, who made him a “half-Jew” in the ideology of the National Socialists. Pulvermann was admitted to the Fuhlsbüttel concentration camp , which was officially called the police prison, in the vernacular KoLaFu, and was affiliated with the Neuengamme concentration camp . Seriously ill, Pulvermann was admitted to the Langenhorn prison hospital on April 1, 1944 , where he died on Easter Sunday, April 9, 1944, as a result of years of imprisonment. Eduard Pulvermann was buried in the family grave in the Hamburg-Ohlsdorf cemetery , south of Chapel 7 (grid square AC 25).

In October 2011, at the family's request, the Hamburg Public Prosecutor's Office overturned the 1942 National Socialist judgment of the Hanseatic Special Court against Eduard Pulvermann.

Since 2007 the path at Derbyplatz Klein Flottbek, between the S-Bahn station Klein Flottbek and the Quellenental, has been named after Eduard F. Pulvermann. In front of his former home in Hamburg-Eppendorf, Geffckenstrasse 15, a stumbling block reminds of Eduard Pulvermann.

Pulvermann's grave

Pulvermann's grave is probably the most famous obstacle in international show jumping. It is obstacle no. 14 on the derby course in Klein Flottbek . The obstacle is built in a 15-meter-long depression and consists of a rick at the beginning and end of the depression, in the middle of which there is a moat that has to be jumped over. The side boundary of the obstacle also narrows towards the ditch in the middle. As a show jumper, the builder of the course, Eduard Pulvermann, was never able to overcome this obstacle without making mistakes.

In the German-speaking area, the name Pulvermanns Grab is also familiar for the versatility of the similar terrain obstacle known internationally as Coffin .
