Julie Naschauer
Julie Herzl (born as Julie Naschauer on February 1, 1868 in Budapest ; died on November 10, 1907 in Vienna ) was the wife of Theodor Herzl , the founder of modern political Zionism .
Life
Julie Naschauer was the daughter of the wealthy industrialist Jacob Naschauer (1837-1894) and his wife Johanna ("Jenny"; 1843-1900). She was born in Budapest in 1868 as the fourth of five siblings.
On June 25, 1889, she married Theodor Herzl , for whom she financed his political activities from her father's dowry . The wedding took place in the Rudolfs-Villa in Reichenau an der Rax . The marriage had three children: Pauline (1890–1930), Hans (1891–1930) and Margarete, known as "Trude" (1893–1943).
The marriage was unhappy. Because of his wife's "hysteria", Herzl ordered in his will that after his death the son Hans should be removed from the mother's sphere of influence. She died three years after her husband at the age of 39 in 1907 in the psychiatric clinic in Vienna.
The fate of the children
Hans Herzl worked at Union Bank in Vienna; Through work colleagues he came into contact with Baptists and was baptized with them in July 1924. In the same year he moved to London. In 1930, on the day of the funeral of her sister Pauline, who was addicted to morphine and who had died by suicide in Bordeaux, her brother Hans also committed suicide.
Since 1931 Trude was voluntarily in inpatient psychiatric treatment. She and her husband Richard Neumann were deported to the Theresienstadt concentration camp in 1942 , where they both died in 1943. Their son Stephen Theodor Neumann, Herzl's only grandson, died three years later in Washington DC by his own hands.
