Breiter Weg | Weingarten
Schwab writes:On the Breite Weg there is fresh pulsating life and modern commercial buildings next to large hotels give it a metropolitan feel. I had picked up a faster pace when a strange sight suddenly made me pause. It was not words that now interpreted to me the past history, it itself appeared before me, and its soundless language sounded far audible.Following Jewish merchants were located on the Breite Weg.- No. 04: Alagjem (photographer) - No. 24: Druggist Meyer (Inh. Benno Schnellinger) - No. 28: M. Helft - banking - No. 30/31: Louis Franck (men's clothing) (Unclear). - No. 37: Silberberg - banker - No. 42/43: Adolf Ebstein - Hamburg Engroslager (En gros = kaufmänn. in large quantities/clothing?) - No. 63: Bendix - court instrument maker / ladies ran corset business there (had several stores in different cities) Nearby: Weingarten 5: Julius Joseph & Co. - Guts trade later also butchery Holzmarkt 10: B. J.

Wigs were probably purchased through the Jewish community.
