Scottish (family)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The family Schottländer counted aloud Ramona Brau to the "most influential Jewish families in Silesia" and to the "wealthiest families in Germany" . The expropriation of the Schottländer property complex in the time of National Socialism is due to the "sheer size of the property extraordinary" . The Fideikommiss Julius Schottländer and thus "one of the greatest Silesian fortunes" was almost completely utilized for the German Empire within four years during the time of National Socialism .

history

Julius Schottländer was the director of the Upper Silesian Portland cement factory and, as the “first and only Jew in Germany”, assigned his property to a Fideikommiss and bequeathed it to his heir, Dr. Paul Schottländer a fortune that was one of the largest in Germany. The assets consisted of the entails and thus of an inalienable and indivisible family property in addition to large sums of money, extensive industrial and agricultural property as well as many properties in Wroclaw and a share in a Karlovy Vary mineral spring. Paul Schottländer left the entails to his sons Alfred Leo and Ard Heinrich , both in Breslau, as well as his daughter Dora married Tepper Laski , who lived in Berlin. Ludmilla Schottländer married the Swiss Edwin Guignard after the death of her husband Paul Schottländer and only received her compulsory share.

During the time of National Socialism, the Chief Finance President Wapenhensch and the Gauleiter Josef Wagner appointed Georg Boness as trustee of the Schottländer property, which has now been expropriated and sold. The Jewish property levy of the three siblings Alfred Leo , Ard Heinrich and Dora and the Reich flight tax for Alfred Leo Schottländer, who emigrated to Kenya in 1939, brought in more than 1,000,000 Reichsmarks from the property of the Schottländer family for the Wroclaw tax office . The right of the emigrated Alfred Leo to his inheritance remained because he was verifiably registered in Switzerland in 1934.

The emigration efforts of Ard Heinrich Schottländer and his wife Gerda Schottländer geb. Germans to Brazil and later to Ecuador failed despite a fortune transfer of 30,000 Reichsmarks to the Deutsche Golddiskontbank with the emigration ban for Jews from October 1941. The couple and their one-year-old son Denny Schottländer were brought to Lublin on May 3, 1942 with the second large transport from Breslau and probably murdered in the gas chambers of Belzec or Sobibor . The Reich received the amount of RM 30,000. In the special account of Ard Heinrich Schottländer there were still more than 105,000 RM from his inheritance and a further 120,000 RM were expected from payments not yet received. The property as well as the household in Wessig fell to the Reich according to the 11th ordinance on the Reich Citizenship Law .
