Adolf und Johanna Hirsch - Stolpersteine, Gelsenkirchen, Germany - Stolpersteine on Waymarking.com

Stumbling Stones installed at: Von-der-Recke-Straße 9
Here lived Adolf Hirsch and his wife Joanna.
"The businessman Adolf Hirsch was born in Lautenburg on 4 June 1869. He was married to Johanna Rubens who was born in Gelsenkirchen on 8 November 1861. The couple had one child, a son called Ludwig who was born in Gelsenkirchen on 31 October 1899.
Adolf Hirch’s company was already located at Von-Der-Recke Strasse 4 in Gelsenkirchen before World War One. In 1920 Adolf Hirsch bought the house at Von-Der-Recke Strasse 9 which had been built a few years before. The Hirsch family lived on the ground floor and at the back of the house they ran the “Adolf Hirsch Wachstuche Grosshandlung GmbH”, a wax cloth wholesale company. Ingrid Gunther, one of Ludwig Hirsch’s daughters, remembers that 5-10 people were employed there. And her father, who in 1921 had already moved from Recklinghausen South, continued to work at her grandfather’s firm in the old town of Gelsenkirchen."
