The Württemberg parsonage chain was an underground organization during the last years of National Socialism .

organization

Members of the Württemberg parsonage chain were pastors and their relatives in Württemberg who took in Jews and other persecuted people in their churches or private homes and veiled their identities or hid people to protect them from access by the National Socialists. The parsonage chain was organized by Theodor Dipper . It was often pretended that the people living briefly in the pastors' families were relatives or bombed out . They were only housed in one place for a short time and then passed on to the next member of the chain. In this way, the couple Max and Ines Krakauer survived for 27 months and were housed in numerous different quarters during this time. In addition to the Krakauer couple, 17 other names are known of people who were able to survive the Third Reich with the help of the Württemberg parsonage chain.

Several members of the Württemberg parsonage chain were awarded the Israeli honorary title Righteous Among the Nations .
