Cäcilie Michel née Kronenberg
Cäcilie Kronenberg was born on the 27th of January 1876 in Ruhrort at the river Rhine. Her parents were Salomon Kronenberg, a teacher and his wife Jeanette, née Wahl.
Cäcilie had 12 siblings: four of them were older and three younger sisters as well as three brothers older than she. Two other brothers died shortly after they were born.
Father Salomon was born in 1834 in Störmede, a small town in Westphalia. He became a teacher and cantor. Since 1874 he worked for the Synagogue community in Ruhrort.
Cäcilie Kronenberg married on the 6th of June 1900 Adolf Michel, a buisinessman. He was born on the 29th of September 1870 in Mandel near Kreuznach. The couple moved to Kreuznach where Adolf Michel died in 1910. We couldn’t find out If they had children. The trace of Cäcilie Michel is lost from this point. She was mentioned neither in Kreuznach in the records nor in her hometown Ruhrort. She is supposed to have worked as an employee.
When the census of population took place in 1939 Cäcilie lived with the Graber family in Kieler Straße 5. Her income was a pension for employees of 54 Reichsmark monthly.
When the Graber family was deported on the 2nd of April 1942 Cäcilie Michel had to leave the house. She moved to Franz Kopp-Straße and stayed with a family Schäfer as their subtenant.
There she lived only for half a year. Cäcilie Michel was deported on the 26th of October 1942 to Riga and was murdered on the 29th of October. She was 66 years old.
We could find traces of three of her twelve siblings.
Her brother Moritz did a doctor’s degree and was a publicist, author and philosopher. His penname was Montanus. He wrote among other items books about the philosophers Kant and Herder as well as the History of the German Idealism. Many of his books are still available today. He died in 1935 in Berlin.
The brother Leopold was a banker. For him and his wife Elise stumbling stones were laid in front of the house Innsbrucker Straße.
Her sister Bertha who had married Viktor Wittenberg lived in Berlin Xantener Straße. She had to move together with her husband to Helmstedter Straße in a so called Judenhaus. From that they were deported.
