Stolperstein Pauline Kallmann © H.-J. Hupka
Pauline Kallmann, née Schneler, was born on May 9, 1871, in Schmolsin (Stolp district) in Pomerania. She had lived in a two-room apartment in the front part of Friedbergstrasse 1 (second floor, on the left) since 1911. Mrs. Kallmann was widowed and had no children. She was Jewish.
She was a 71-year-old retiree when she was deported by the Nazis on January 13, 1942, from the Grunewald freight station, Platform 17, on the train 8 Da 44 to Riga. Detailed records still exist showing how the National Socialist authorities confiscated Pauline Kallmann’s apartment on Friedbergstrasse after her deportation, as well as her assets, and sold her furniture and personal effects.
Her fate after that is still unclear. However, we do know that starting in the winter of 1941/1942, the people deported to Riga by the Nazis were crowded into unheated cattle cars, and many of them died along the way. Because of her age, Pauline Kallmann was probably one of the people who were either murdered right after their arrival in Riga or shot and buried in Bikernieki Forest after the mass “selections” that took place in the Riga ghetto in February and March 1942.
