Israelitisches Asylum Sontheim
The Israelite Asylum in Heilbronn-Sontheim was a Jewish old people's home, which also had a prayer room. The asylum was located in the Wilhelmsruhe building at Hermann-Wolf-Straße 11 from 1907 to 1940 , and from 1942 in Julius Picard's house at Lauffener Straße 12.
Wilhelmsruhe
On April 11, 1895, the Israelite Men’s Association for Nursing and Funeral Services decided not to build a hospital, as required by the association's statutes, but to build an Israelite asylum for single men and women . Julius Spiegelthal formed a commission and collected donations at home and abroad. On April 25, 1897, an Israelite Country Asylum and Support Association was founded , which collected donations for the Israelite Asylum. In 1902 the building plot was acquired and in 1907 the building was completed according to the plans of the Stuttgart architects Carl Heim and Jacob Früh . Initially there was space for 32 people. The medical management was with Willy Flegenheimer and Julius Picard.
Deportation and transfer
In 1938 about 100 people lived in this home, which was the target of property damage during the pogrom night in 1938 . In the period after the November pogroms, the service in the country asylum was held by the inmates of the home. Here the names Sulzbacher, David Stern, Strauss, Berta Tänzer (wife of Rabbi Aron Tänzer ) and Grailsamer are mentioned. After the beginning of the war in September 1939, the state asylum became the destination of Jewish refugees from the Palatinate, the Saar region and Baden, so that up to 140 people were quartered there. From November 1940, the asylum residents were deported or resettled.
Picard's house
From November 15 to 17, 1940, the Israelitisches Asylum was moved to the house of Picard at Lauffener Strasse 12 in Sontheim, who himself emigrated on December 7, 1940. From April 8 to May 5, 1942, 16 people were deported to Izbica . Only Picard's house was available to those affected as an Israelite asylum. With the deportation, the number fell from 39 to 23 who still found refuge in the Israelite asylum.
The doctor Ludwig Essinger , a citizen of Böckingen of the Jewish faith, who was excluded from the medical association of the Württemberg-Hohenzollern district in 1938 and has since then only been considered a medical practitioner, looked after the residents of Sontheimer from January 7, 1942 until his suicide on April 25, 1942 Israelite asylum medical.
Nurse Paula Adelsheimer came to Sontheim from Stuttgart. On August 20, 1942, the last 22 residents of the Sontheim Israelite asylum were brought to the Theresienstadt concentration camp .
