Enno E. Jaspers

Enno E. Jaspers (1889-1931) was a jurist, and later a member of the board of directors of the Oldenburg savings and loan institution.

Suicide by poison in 1931. Karl Jaspers wrote, "My brother committed suicide with heroin, which, if you have the connections, you can acquire in the illegal drug trade. He lost consciousness after a few hours and noticed before he did he was no longer able to swallow. My mother, observant as she was, realized what was happening but put off calling a doctor and said nothing to my father. Then she called a friend of Enno's who was the director of the hospital in Oldenburg and said to him, 'Gerhard, you mustn't pump out his stomach. This is what Enno wanted.' And Gerhard proved himself to be a loyal friend."
