The story of the house and the family

The ground floor of the house was converted into a shop in 1856. The owner at that time was the watchmaker Johann George Kleemann. However just one year later he sold it to the Jewish tradesman Samuel Seeberger, married to Jeanette née Oberdorfer. She can be found under this name, Jeanette Oberdorfer, in other documentation, for instance when the house was handed down to her daughters Martha and Hedwig Seeberger.

Samuel Seeberger had planted a chestnut tree in the courtyard, and this was only cut down in the 1990’s.

Arthur Riegel's company sign can still be seen today (as of 2021) above the rear entrance door.
