Curschmannstraße 8

Ilse Lippstadt reported to the German-Israelite community in Hamburg on January 8, 1936, shortly after her 30th birthday. She had left her place of birth Elmshorn, because life there for Jews - especially for those without influence and fortune - had become unbearable in German small towns after the entry into force of the Nuremberg Laws.

Ilses, a great-grandfather from Hamburg, Hirsch Elias Lippstadt, had already settled in the then Danish town as a cattle trader and butcher before 1840. Among his fellow Elmshorner he earned the highest income. Ilses father Julius had remained faithful to this profession, Had married a Hamburg woman, Jettchen (Henriette) Rothgießer, to whom he was able to offer a solid bourgeois existence. Ilse had two sisters: Fanny was born on 16 February 1903, Anna on 14 December 1908.

The Lippstadt family belonged to the part of the Jewish community, which was engaged in the public life of Elmshorn. 1881/82 Julius Lippstadt promoted in a newspaper for a mayor candidate; In addition, two women of the family belonged to the founders of the Elmshorner Frauenverein. Julius took part in the First World War. In 1931 daughter Anna Lippstadt was baptized and married the local evangelical baker-master Oskar Willi Ernst Lötje. In view of this development, it is not surprising that Ilse Lippstadt left the "Israelite religious community" on 29 September 1932.

This circumstance and the fact that Ilse was alone and destitute and had neither work nor residence in Hamburg demanded the solution of a difficult task from the local Jewish community in 1936.

At "free station" and a profit of 43.25 RM per month, Ilse was transferred to Hallerstraße (soon renamed Ostmarkstraße) as a household aid to the Guggenheim family. Her monthly income in Elmshorn, where she had been employed as a secretary, was 130 RM. In the following three years she found shelter in the nearby Rothenbaumchaussee 73 and in the only slightly distant Oderfelder Straße 42 III near the Eckert family. Then she went to the Alte Altes Rabenstraße 9 I, where she met for a short time with her sister Fanny and Anna Rosenbaum (see there).

Fanny Lippstadt had already come to Hamburg in 1932. It can be inferred from the file that in July 1938 she had been sent to the Lichtenburg Concentration Camp near Wittenberg, where she was detained there shortly before she left for England in the summer of 1939. We do not know why Fanny Lippstadt was arrested, but we are aware that the Secret State Police often acted arbitrarily.

At Ilse Lippstadt, too, a plan of emigrating to England became more concrete. In August, she was even able to inspect the authorities for about 700 RM. However, they did not release it until immediately before the outbreak of the war, thus causing the exit to fail.

In this desperate situation, Ilse reached the news of the death of her 69-year-old father in Elmshorn. Mother Jettchen soon moved near her daughter to Hamburg. She was sent to the "Judenhaus" Frickestraße 24. When Ilse was given a new apartment in August with the widow Gertrud Theiner, born Bauer (68 years), and her sister, the teacher Helene Elsa Bauer (65), Ilse was responsible for three old women. Her mother even had to support her from her poor pay.

On 18 November 1941, Ilse Lippstadt was separated from the three needy by the deportation to Minsk.

By chance we know the circumstances of their death. Harald Kirschninck, the chronicler of Elmshorner Jews, was able to speak with Anna Lötje, the surviving sister, and reported that she had "learned" from the Elmshorn witness after the war, a soldier in Russia, That her sister had marched in a column with other Jews near Minsk. This column met several German soldiers. Ilse Lippstadt recognized among them some Elmshorner, with whom she had formerly emigrated in the Holstein Court. She had called them, 'Hello Elmshorn!'
