Norbert Futterweit

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Norbert Samuel Futterweit (born November 30, 1898 ; murdered June 12, 1933 in Vienna ) was an Austrian jeweler of Jewish descent who was the victim of a Nazi bomb attack. His murder was one of the attacks that led to the ban on the Austrian NSDAP on June 19, 1933.

Futterweit operated a jewelry store at 19 Meidlinger Hauptstrasse in the 12th district. Two months before the attack, National Socialists threw stink bombs into the shop and posted anti-Jewish slogans on the door. At around 10.30 a.m. on June 12, 1933, the unemployed waiter Josef Kreil threw a suspiciously buzzing package into the shop. When his assistant and a customer noticed the package, Futterweit picked it up and wanted to take it out. When he reached the entrance, the bomb exploded. Futterweit was killed instantly. There were injuries in the shop and on the street. A random passer-by - Johann Hodik, a 63-year-old house painter - died the next day from his injuries.

Only the bookbinder's assistant Johann Teuer, who was the bomber's watchdog, could be caught: the other perpetrators fled to Germany.

According to Kastner, the attack was probably planned by SS man Max Grillmayer. Also Odilo Globocnik was mentioned in connection with the attack. Immediately after his liberation from Buchenwald concentration camp , Eugen Kogon reported that Globocnik had fled to Germany after the attack. In 1945, the Eighth United States Army news said Globocnik had thrown the explosive device.

In 2008 a memorial plaque was placed at the site of the attack.
