Alte Schönhauser Straße 19 / Steinstraße 1

Alte Schönhauser Straße 19 / Steinstraße 1 was a property spread on two parcels with two front houses and separate toilets in the backyard. In 1908 Hermann Blecher was officially registered at Steinstraße 1 with his teacher, the tailor Elias Laub. Blecher was last in the house the day before he was murdered. He left after an argument with Laub, which ended in Hermann being slapped and never returned. In 1929, M. Fisch lived in the same house. He belonged to the board of directors of the "Tyfereth Israel" synagogue at Dragonerstraße 45.Jewish Adress Book for Greater Berlin issue 1929/1930
