Sunday, 12 July 2026, 3pm, Lecture, `The Jewish community Vöhl-Basdorf-Marienhagen`

Lecture by Karl-Heinz Stadtler

This postcard was sent to Brussels in 1907 by a guest of the Hotel Prinz-Wilhelm. At the bottom of the postcard is written “Published by M. Rothschild in Vöhl.” The Jewish innkeeper Moritz Rothschild had already died in 1907, and the Prinz Wilhelm was run by his son Alfred Rothschild.

The picture shows a view of the village, where houses belonging to Jewish citizens are part of the townscape. Next to the “Hotel Prinz-Wilhelm - Pension für Sommerfrischler - Telephon im Hause”, the house owned at the time by the Jew Emanuel Katzenstein can be seen. On the right, the “Alte Post” can be seen.

Admission is free, donations are welcome.
