Memorial plaque for the deportation of Jews from Giessen at the Goethe School

There was Jewish life in Giessen as early as the Middle Ages. From 1887 there were two Jewish communities in Gießen, the liberal Israelite religious community and the orthodox Israelite religious society. At the time of the National Socialist seizure of power, the city of Giessen had 855 Jewish residents. Due to the consequences of the economic boycott, the increasing disenfranchisement, the reprisals and the Reichspogromnacht of 1938, during which the two synagogues fell victim to the flames, 358 Jewish residents were counted on August 31, 1937. Between 1939 and 1941, the remaining Jewish families were forcibly amalgamated in so-called “Jewish houses” at Liebigstrasse 33 and 37, Marburger Strasse 44, Asterweg 53 and Alter Wetzlarer Weg 17 (formerly Wetzlarer Weg 17). In 1942 these were in Walltorstrasse 42 and 48 and in Landgrafenstrasse 8. The "Final Solution to the Jewish Question" in Gießen saw the ghettoization of the last 141 Jewish people still living in Gießen and from places in the area (nine from Wieseck, 180 from other locations) in mass quarters in the Goetheschule (Westanlage 43), before they were deported two days later via the freight station. Most of the deportation took place via Darmstadt to the extermination camps in the East, and some to the Theresienstadt ghetto. Furthermore, from January to March 1941, 265 people from the Giessen sanatorium were brought to Hadamar to be murdered.

(Sponsors: Members of the Inner Wheel Club Gießen-Wetzlar; Hartmut Klein, Kleinlinden)	Anna Maria Markel	Weigelstrasse 3	Feb 12, 2009	HERE LIVED ANNA MARIA MARKEL JG. 1916 ADMISSIONED 1936 'SANCTUARY' HADAMAR MURDERED 20.3.1943	Anna Maria Markel (born July 2, 1916 in Kleinlinden ; † March 20, 1943 in the Hadamar euthanasia center ) was admitted to the Giessen Sanatorium on August 26, 1939 , a center for hereditary and racial care. From there, on February 21, 1941, she was first taken to the Weilmünster State Sanatorium and from there to the Hadamar Sanatorium on March 20, 1943 . As a rule, the patients on such a transport were sent to the gas chamber in the basement of the institution and murdered on the day of arrival. March 20, 1943 is therefore to be regarded as the day of her death. The date and cause of death officially announced at the time - noted in the church register of Kleinlinden as April 1, 1943 and stated as “deceased of pneumonia” - was wrongly transmitted in order to deceive relatives and authorities.

Wieseck

A Jewish community existed in Wieseck from the 17th century until 1938/40. In 1933 there were still around 30 parishioners among them who moved away or emigrated in the following years due to increasing disenfranchisement and reprisals. The emigrants' destinations were the USA (15 people), Brazil (3), England (1) and Palestine (1). On November 10, 1938, the National Socialists desecrated the synagogue and burned the interior with Torah scrolls and rituals. In September 1942 the last Jewish residents were deported to the extermination camps in the East. Further Jewish fates born or temporarily living in Wieseck have not yet been considered.
