Theodor Görner
Karl Theodor Görner (born December 10, 1884 in Leipzig , † August 7, 1971 in Berlin-Neukölln ) was a Berlin printer owner. With his daughter Hanni N Körper, née Görner, he helped over a hundred persecuted people, most of them Jewish, during the Nazi era .
However, only a small number of them survived, a total of 22 people. Among other things, he helped Inge Deutschkron and her mother Ella through the mediation of Otto Weidt in the summer of 1943 and gave Ella Deutschkron work under the false name Ella Richter in the Görner print shop at Rosenthaler Straße 26 in Berlin-Mitte, where she was until his arrest stayed on July 14, 1944.
In the eastern part of Berlin, where the events took place, the events after 1945 went unnoticed for a long time, although Görner's commitment resulted not least from his anti-fascist convictions. In 1959 he was one of the first Germans to be honored as Righteous Among the Nations at the Israeli Yad Vashem memorial . He and his deeds are honored at the German Resistance Memorial Center .
Theodor Görner was buried in a grave of honor of the State of Berlin in the park cemetery Neukölln .
