About Marcus Heinemann
https://www.museumlueneburg.de/news/n15_heinem-wee.htm
Marcus' daughter Emilie wrote in her memoir: Marcus was born on April 16, 1819 and had his Bar Mitzvah on April 19, 1832. He started his apprenticeship in Hamburg with Blumental in 1837 and returned to Lueneburg in 1841. Then he got engaged in 1855 and married Henriette at age 37 in 1856. And then in 1883 Henriette died." Note: Emilie described Henriette in Marcus' words as his "unforgettable wife."
"Marcus and his brothers, Sally and Solomon were in charge of the bank business, but Papa (Marcus), he was the one who would be the decisive voice in all important decisions. Marcus' sisters would also help selling the textiles. After the parents (Simon and Betty) died, the children got married. Uncle Sally remained in his parents' house, which was where the bank was. Marcus moved another place in Lueneburg. Later, he bought the house at 23 Grosse Baeckerstrasse." Note: that is the house we know today.
Emilie writes "Our father though very often had to go cross country and he would always ride on his horse. Mama was very worried because often he came back very late. Later he had a carriage but in the early days he rode on his horse. During the holidays we could go with him in the carriage and so we got to know the heath and all its loneliness. Cause at the time they didn't think it was a tourist region and it was just a very lonely and open space. And the owners of the grand estates would serve coffee and cake. Papa was very happy and in a good mood with his parents."
Marcus' daughter Klara Jacobson (nee Heinemann) writes in her memoir: "When Marcus Heinemann was a small child, Heinrich Heine's family was till in Lueneburg and held many salons. Marcus met his wife, Henriette, at a salon that was formerly the Heine salon. However, the Heine's were no longer in Lueneburg. But the place was then owned by another very nice lady, not Jewish, and she continued this tradition of a salon."
Emilie writes: "Mama had dark eyes and beautiful dark hair, which she had in braids. And she turned it around her head. We only knew our father with white hair but when he was young he had dark hair like her. And Else and Henry looked very much like Mama, they say. And our mother, unfortunately, died through an infection by the midwife. Science wasn't as far ahead as it is today." Emilie says that in the 1930s.
Emilie writes: "Marcus really liked to play chess but during the week he never had time to do so, so he always did it on a Saturday. He played very well and this is how he got to know a number of people, through his chess. There was an old mathematics professor, Ritter, brother of our knitting and crafts teacher, who often played with him. In 1870 they took down the old front of the house and put this new front which is still there today. And very importantly, they added the flower boxes because Papa really loved flowers."
Emilie writes "In 1550, their house had been owned by a Suelfmeister, these were the people who owned the salt business (a very valuable industry in Lueneburg), or parts of it. That was a very old Lueneburg family. Shortly before Papa died, we discovered downstairs on the ground floor, in a storage room a wonderful painted ceiling from the renaissance which had been covered by another ceiling. There was an open space in between the two ceilings and because there was this space it had kept fresh and the colors were wonderfully fresh. They donated the ceiling to the Lueneburg Museum where it was placed in the Marcus Heinemann room."
Note: Marcus was a founding member of the Museum Association. The room named after him was re-named when the Nazis came, and later destroyed in the war. But in 2015, a new Marcus Heinemann room was established by the museum and is still there today.
From Emilie's memoir: "Everybody would always like to talk to Marcus and try to benefit from his industriousness, his ability to see far ahead. So, people were interested in talking to him. Marcus founded a number of associations always working for the best of the people." And one of his pursuits was , a building association that worked to give workers a their own healthy home "and to show them that what they actually needed for their daily lives so they could save up a little bit for their old age." He tried to teach them not to spend all their money. "His workers lived in the houses of this building association realized his goodness and his sense of justice and they honored his memory. After he dies a street was named after him. "But then after 1933 when the street was no longer allowed to be called after him anymore. Some of these former workers told me 'he will always remember in our hearts as a good man, as a good citizen, who we respect.'" That's obviously when the Nazis had come to power. People were coming up to her and saying these things."
Note: Lueneburg Heinmann family researcher Goeske wrote about the Marcus Heinemann Street sign: "In fact, a worker kept the old (Marcus Heinemann) street sign and hid it in a town's construction office until 1945 and then they got it out again and put it out."
