Arthur Ascher Mayer

Only Arthur (born 1874) was the merchant industry and the company of his Valters Prenzlau connected.

Loads of this kind were in Jewish families at that time not uncommon. Gustav Mayer and his siblings were, albeit to varying degrees, distance themselves from their origins. They were the first generation that came predominantly Prenzlau his back, partly a study of complete za as Gustav and Ernst Mayer, and as the youngest, born in 1890 brother Frederick, who was studying medicine like Ernst. Henry (born 1885) was a bank clerk and a longer time belonged to the prestigious banking firm Warburg Hamberger: Otto (b. 1887) was Tatig as a newspaper agent. Only Arthur (born 1874) was the merchant industry and the company of his Valters Prenzlau connected. Of the three sisters, Gertrude belonged, as the wife of a Heidelberg professor of philosophy, the Jaspers had since 1916, on their way to the academic world. Elizabeth (b. 1872) died in 1889 of diphtheria and Ida (b. 1880) was mentally ill and died in 1917.

Belastungen dieser Art waren in Judischen Familien der damaligen Zeit keine Seltenheit. Gustav Mayer und seine Geschwister gingen, wenn auch unterschiedlich weit, auf Distanz zu ihren Ursprungen. Sie waren die erste Generation, die Prenzlau uberwiegend den Rucken kehrte, zum Teil um ein Studium za absolvieren wie Gustav und Ernst Mayer oder wie der jungste, 1890 geborene Bruder Friedrich, der wie Ernst Medizin studierte. Heinrich (geb 1885) wurde Bankangestellter und gehorte langere Zeit dem renommierten Hamberger Bankhaus Warburg an: Otto (geb. 1887) war als Zeitungsagent tatig. Allein Arthur (geb 1874) blieb der Kaufmannsbranche und der Firma seines Valters in Prenzlau verbunden. Von den drei Schwestern gehorte Gertrud als Gattin eines Heidelberger Philosophieprofessors, der Jaspers seit 1916 war, auf ihre Weise zur akademischen Welt. Elisabeth (geb. 1872) starb 1889 an Diphterie und Ida (geb. 1880) war psychisch krank und starb 1917.
