Margarete Mrosek

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Margarete Mrosek (born Schram , born December 25, 1902 in Gablonz , † April 21, 1945 in Hamburg ) was a German housewife and a victim of National Socialism .

Life

Margarete Mrosek had a Jewish mother, but was protected from deportation until her arrest by a so-called mixed marriage with the non-Jew Alois Mrosek . She was arrested on December 10, 1943 in connection with a wave of arrests against the resistance group of the White Rose Hamburg . The background to this was her friendship with the Zill family, who were also imprisoned, and her acquaintance with the resistance family of Katharina Leipelt and her son Hans Leipelt .

She was first taken to the Bergedorf juvenile detention center, as there were no other prisons in Hamburg at the time, and on January 7, 1944, she was transferred to the Fuhlsbüttel police prison. In the course of the investigation against the White Rose in Hamburg, no charges were brought against her, but she remained as a protective prisoner in Fuhlsbüttel. On April 20, 1945 Margarete Mrosek, like 70 other prisoners, was transported to the Neuengamme concentration camp and murdered there on the night of April 21 to April 22, 1945 during a so-called crime of the final phase in the arrest bunker.

Commemoration

A stumbling block in the Up de Schanz street in Hamburg-Altona reminds of Margarete Mrosek . In Hamburg-Neuallermöhe the Margarete-Mrosek-Bogen was named after her. She is listed by name alongside the other victims of the White Rose with the White Rose memorial in Hamburg-Volksdorf .
