aronhold


My grandmother Margarete Aronhold, was born on 2nd june 1887 as Margarete Stransky at Prague, CZ and married my grandfather in Dresden, Germany. Her mother was Lotti Stransky.

Later they moved to Berlin and lived first at Hohenzollernkorso 11 in Berlin-Tempelhof.

Her daughter Doris Ingeborg - my mother - was born on 12th march 1916 in Berlin-Tempelhof.

Later they moved to Kastanienallee 25 in Berlin-Westend. I don't exactly know when, but later they moved to Knesebeckstr. 31 at Berlin-Charlottenburg, near by the wonderful Savigny-Platz.

Margarete Aronhold had a lot of relatives living in Prague. They travelled and visited each other many times, as we could see on pictures. Unfortunately we don't know the names and dates of birth for them. Only how they where called: Uncle Robbie and Aunt Else. We think that they have been the brother and the sister of my grandmother, so they both may have been Stranskys.

My grandmother died for cancer on 12th september 1939 in Berlin. She died alone. My mother had to leave her in 1937 when she emigrated to Colombia and her husband left her 1938 hoping he could survive in Prague.

She is buried on the cemetery Berlin-Weissensee.
