Max Leopold Baczewski

14 November 1873 Vienna – 19 November 1938 Vienna

After studying at the Vienna University of Technology, Max Baczewski was a partner with Georg Popper in the patent office H. Palm (Michalecki & Co.) at Karlsplatz 1 in Vienna's 1st district. Although he was without religion, he came under the Nuremberg Laws and in July 1938 was forced to declare his assets to the Vermögensverkehrsstelle (Property Transaction Office). As he had to abandon his office as a patent lawyer, he offered the Technisches Museum Wien a number of textbooks from his library. Shortly before his death in November 1938, the museum accepted over a dozen books as a gift. Baczewski died on 19 November 1938 in Vienna. His wife Natalie Baczewski was last registered in a "Sammelwohnung" (collective apartment) at Weintraubengasse 3/30 in the 2nd district. She was deported thereafter to Maly Trostinec near Minsk and murdered there on 18 September 1942.

In 2006, the Art Restitution Advisory Board recommended the restitution of thirteen books and three volumes of magazines belonging to Max Baczewski. Some of the heirs are still to be found, however.

Ernst Egger

18 November 1866 Vienna – 9 December 1944 Theresienstadt ghetto / Terezín

Ernst Egger was born in Vienna as the son of the industrialist Bernhard (Bela) Egger (1831–1910). He worked for some time in the USA as a building engineer and later became president of Vereinigte Glühlampen und Elektrizitäts-Aktiengesellschaft (Tungsram) in Ujpest, Hungary, a company founded by his father. Egger was also vice-president of N.Ö. Eskomptegesellschaft and from 1934 member of the board of its successor company Österreichische Industriekredit AG, Am Hof 2, in Vienna's 1st district. Within the Bund der österreichischen Industriellen (Federation of Austrian Industrialists), he chaired the Verband der Gaswerke (Gasworks Association) and was a member of the board of the Fachverband der Elektrizitäts-, Gas- und Wasserwerke (Professional Association of Electricity, Gas and Waterworks). His brother Adolf Egger (1874–1964) founded Fiat Werke Aktiengesellschaft in Vienna in 1907. From 1933 until at least 1936, Egger was a member of the management of the Verein zur Förderung des Technischen Museums Wien (Association for Promotion of the Technisches Museum Wien). His name was deleted from the membership list in 1938 with the comment "Jew". The Österreichisches Forschungsinstitut für Geschichte der Technik (Austrian Research Institute for the History of Technology) in the Technisches Museum was commissioned and paid by Ernst Egger to write a biography of his father. After the annexation, the Institute ceased this work on account of Bela Egger's Jewish origins. The Institute director, Ludwig Erhard, advised Egger to publish "this life story as a family chronicle" himself. Although baptized a Protestant, Egger was persecuted by the Nazi regime as a Jew under the Nuremberg Laws. He was registered until May 1944 in his apartment at Mommsengasse 25 in Vienna's 4th district. On 28 June 1944 he was deported to Theresienstadt, where he perished on 9 December 1944. His wife was arrested and died in June 1944 in the prison at Rossauerlände 7–9. The two daughters were also deported. While Elisabeth Ilka Egger was murdered in Auschwitz, her sister Marianne survived Theresienstadt.

Ernst Egger had already donated objects to the Technisches Museum Wien before 1938 and continued to do so after the annexation. In autumn 1938, for example, he gave the museum an Edison tube, four glass plate negatives and a benchtop scale, the only one of these items to be found in the depot in the Museum's general inventory. In 2006 the Art Restitution Advisory Board recommended the restitution of the letter balance to the heirs.

Regine Ehrenfest-Egger

24 December 1867 Vienna – 9 February 1945 Theresienstadt ghetto / Terezín

Regine Ehrenfest-Egger was the sister of Ernst Egger and the daughter of Bela Egger. In 1892 she married the engineer Arthur Ehrenfest (1862–1931) in Vienna. For many years, the Egger and Ehrenfest-Egger families were associated with the Technisches Museum Wien. Until his death, Arthur Ehrenfest-Egger was a member of the advisory board of the Österreichisches Forschungsinstitut für Geschichte der Technik (Austrian Research Institute for the History of Technology) and in this function gave the museum several objects. The couple lived at Mommsengasse 25 in Vienna's 4th district. Their son Fritz Ehrenfest-Egger lived with his parents until his flight to London on 18 August 1939. Regine Ehrenfest-Egger's brother Ernst Egger was also registered at this address. Although baptized a Protestant, Regine Ehrenfest-Egger was considered a Jew under the Nuremburg Laws and as such was required in 1938 to declare her assets to the Vermögensverkehrsstelle (Property Transaction Office). On her behalf, her brother Ernst Egger donated a wireless, an Edison phonograph and a steam indicator to the museum in November 1941. Regine lived in her apartment in Mommsengasse until early 1944. Until then she had not been registered as a Jew by the Council of Elders of the Vienna Jewish Community. She was forced out of her apartment on 6 May 1944 and lived in a "Sammelwohnung" (collective apartment) at Malzgasse 7 in the 2nd district until her deportation to Theresienstadt ghetto on 28 June 1944 on transport XLVIII c/167. She died in Theresienstadt on 9 February 1945.

In 2008 objects were restituted to her heirs following the recommendation in 2007 by the Art Restitution Advisory Board. The Technisches Museum purchased the steam indicator and wireless after they had been restituted, but the Edison phonograph has not yet been found in the depot following the general inventory of the museum.

Karl Feiler

25 December 1887 Bruck an der Leitha – 18 March 1982 Vienna

Karl Josef Franz Feiler started working in the Eisenbahnministerium (Ministry of Railways) in 1907. After the First World War and the completion of his history doctorate he was promoted to the position of railway archive historian. In 1924 he became head of the transport archive, as it was now called, in the Staatsamt für Verkehrswesen (State Transport Office) before being appointed director a year later of the Eisenbahnmuseum (Railway Museum). He was a member of the Deutsche Verkehrswirtschaft and, according to the Gau headquarters in Vienna, was a supporter of the NSDAP during the period of its prohibition. In September 1943 he was awarded the Kriegsverdienstkreuz 2. Klasse (War Cross of Merit 2nd Class) for having liquidated the documentation and planning department in Laibach (Ljubljana) in 1942 and transferring them to the Deutsche Reichsbahn.

After 1945 Feiler was deemed to be politically unincriminated as he had not been a member of the NSDAP and had been an applicant only for a short time for the Betriebs-SA des Ministeriums für Handel und Verkehr (in-house SA in the Ministry Trade and Transport). Following the incorporation of the transport archive in the Österreichisches Staatsarchiv (Austrian State Archives) in 1947, he was put in charge of the new department, while Melanie Marsch, director of the railway library in the Verkehrsministerium (Ministry of Transport), became director of the Eisenbahnmuseum in 1947 for the next four years. Feiler retired at the end of 1952.

Siegfried Gerstl

11 April 1862 Temesvár, Hungary (now Romania) – 25 September 1938 Vienna

Siegfried Gerstl was a Kommerzialrat and sworn commercial court expert in agricultural machines. In this function he gave talks to farmers' associations and published articles in trade journals such as the Wiener Landwirtschaftliche Zeitung. As an expert in agricultural machines, he offered to donate books and glass negatives to the Technisches Museum Wien in early August 1938. At this time he and his wife Irma were already being persecuted by the Nazis as Jews. After his death in September 1938, the objects were given to the Technisches Museum by his widow. In January 1943 the Gestapo arrested her in her apartment on Liechtensteinstraße and deported her to Theresienstadt ghetto, where she died a short time afterwards.

A publication and several hundred glass negatives formerly owned by Gerstl were found in the archive and library of the Technisches Museum Wien. Based on the results of provenance research, the Art Restitution Advisory Board recommended the restitution of these objects in 2006 and 2008, but to date no heirs have been identified.

Rosa Glückselig

20 November 1896 Vienna – 6 September 1972 Buenos Aires, Argentina

Rosa Glückselig, née Heitler, was married to the grocer Moritz Glückselig (1890–1974) and had two sons. She ran the delicatessen Zur Raxbahn at Neulerchenfelderstraße 27 in Ottakring, where the family also lived. After the annexation, because of her Jewish origins, she had to declare her assets to the Vermögensverkehrsstelle (Property Transaction Office). In the declaration she stated that her private vehicle (Fiat 522) had been seized on 16 March 1938 and its whereabouts since then were unknown. After its seizure the car was used by SA group Donau as a service vehicle with the registration number A10887. In September 1939 the SA sold the vehicle to the administration of the Österreichische Bundesgärten (Austrian Federal Gardens), Schönbrunn in Vienna's 13th district. According to the systematic provenance research, it was given to the Technisches Museum Wien on 21 November 1951. Moritz Glückselig was interned from May 1938 to March 1939 at Dachau and Buchenwald. In March the family managed to emigrate to Bolivia. Shortly afterwards they moved to Buenos Aires, where they opened a general goods store Fiambreria Austria.

In 2008 the Art Restitution Advisory Board recommended the restitution of the vehicle to the son living in Buenos Aires. The Technisches Museum Wien acquired the Fiat 522 from the Glückselig family for its collection.

24 July 1896 Großschützen / Nagylévárd / Velké Leváry, Slovakia – after 1950, Tel Aviv, Israel

The transporter Paul David Herzfeld lived with his wife Stefanie at Ausstellungsstraße 45/I/14 in Vienna's 2nd district. He fled in August 1938 via Czechoslovakia to Palestine. He lived in the 1950s in Tel Aviv, where he also died. Before his departure, he had stored his removal goods, including his gramophone record collection, with the Vienna transport company Caro und Jellinek, where it was seized by the Gestapo and later sold through Vugesta. The historian Heinrich Srbik, president of the Academy of Sciences, was informed not only of the planned sale of the records in May 1942 by the Dorotheum but also of the fact that the collection included recordings of the Habsburg famly from the First World War. In a letter to Vugesta Srbik requested and obtained these fifteen records for the Academy's phonogram archive.

In 1993 the phonogram archive gave the records to the Österreichische Mediathek. They were originally identified in 2007 as belonging to someone else, so that the Art Restitution Advisory Board decision had to be corrected. In 2013 they were finally restituted to the legal heirs of Paul Herzfeld.

Historisches Museum der österreichischen Eisenbahnen Konstantin Ferihumer Wed, 11/18/2020 - 13:14

Historisches Museum der österreichischen Eisenbahnen

Historical Austrian Railway Museum

other name: Historisches Museum der k. k. österreichischen Staatsbahnen (1893–1918)

The Historisches Museum der k. k. österreichischen Staatsbahnen (Historical Museum of the Imperial Royal Austrian State Railways), located in the administrative headquarters of the Westbahnhof in Vienna, was founded on 1 April 1893. It was developed from older collections established during the time of private railways. For example, the k. k. private Kaiser Ferdinands-Nordbahn had already started to collect historical objects in the 1870s. The Semmeringbahn also had its own collection, kept from 1879 by the Department of Railway and Tunnel Engineering of the Technical University in Vienna. After the railways were nationalized in 1884, the railway historian Viktor Freiherr von Röll set out to found a railway museum. It was gradually enlarged until its transfer in 1918 as an independent institution to the Technisches Museum. During the First Republic and the Dollfuß-Schuschnigg regime it was administered along with the transport archive by the Federal Ministry of Commerce and Transport. In the Nazi era it became a separate department in the Reichsbahn directorate. The museum was headed from 1924 to 1947 by the historian Karl Josef Franz Feiler. After 1945 it became a department of the Generaldirektion der Österreichischen Bundesbahnen, and in 1980 the museum was closed. The archive and collection went to the Technisches Museum Wien, while the majority of the library was incorporated in the Verkehrsarchiv des Österreichischen Staatsarchivs (Transport Archive of the Austrian State Archives). As the Historical Austrian Railway Museum functioned from its establishment in 1863 until its incorporation in the Technisches Museum in 1980 as a documentation archive for the national railways, most of the objects come from the enterprise itself and may be regarded as unsuspicious in terms of restitution. However, private objects were taken up occasionally by the collections, whose provenance had to be investigated. In 2011 the Art Restitution Advisory Board studied the estate of the president of the Verwaltungskommission der Bundesbahnen Österreichs, Karl von Banhans. While the bust bequeathed by him to the museum on his death in 1942 was not eligible for restitution, the Board recommended the restitution to his legal successors of the estate held by the Verkehrsarchiv.

Hugo Theodor Horwitz

27 Febrauary 1882 Vienna – July 1942 Minsk ghetto

Hugo Theodor Horwitz lived in Berlin and Vienna and was the author of articles about the history of culture and technology. Between 1916 and 1934 he wrote regularly for the magazine Beiträge zur Geschichte der Technik und Industrie published by the Verein Deutscher Ingenieure in Berlin. In summer 1920 he married Marianne Ehrmann, born in Vienna in 1893, and their only child, Anselm Egon Horwitz, was born a year later. When the Nazis came to power in March 1938, the Horwitz family were persecuted because, despite being Catholics, they were regarded by the Nuremberg Laws as Jews. In March 1939, they had to leave their apartment at Schönburgstraße 48 in the 4th district, where they had lived since the 1920s. After changing addresses several times, Hugo Theodor and Marianne Horwitz moved in early January 1941 to Ungargasse 15 in the 3rd district. On 28 November 1941 they were deported to Minsk ghetto and murdered there, probably in July 1942. Hugo Theodor Horwitz's sister Elsa, born on 30 March 1883 in Vienna, a "patient" at the Heil- und Pflegeanstalt "Am Steinhof" in Vienna, was murdered at the Nazi "euthanasia" institute Hartheim near Linz on 6 March 1941. The only survivor of the family was Anselm Egon Horwitz, who managed to flee in April 1939 to Ireland and later emigrated to Canada. In early 1942, after Horwitz’s deportation, his library and estate was acquired by the Technisches Museum Wien. Both were returned in 2007 to his son Anselm Barnet (1921–2015). The Technisches Museum purchased the library, while the family donated the estate, with the exception of a few personal family documents, to the museum.

Stefan Jellinek

29 May 1871 Prerau / Přerov, Moravia – 2 September 1968 Edinburgh

until 1914 Samuel Jellinek

Until 1938, Stefan Jellinek was an extraordinary professor at the Institute of Forensic Medicine at the University of Vienna. In the four decades from 1899 to 1938 he also developed the Electropathological Museum at the University as a private collection. On 12 March 1938, the museum had around two thousand objects, including moulages, anatomical specimens, watercolours, damaged electrical objects and natural history objects. Because of Jellinek's Jewish origins, the university dismissed him at the end of 1938. In spite of several applications to the dean of the Medical Faculty and the support of his long-standing assistant and curator Franz Maresch, who had been Gauleiter of the Nationalsozialistische Betriebszellenorganisation (National Socialist Factory Cell Organization) in Vienna during the time from 1936 when the Nazi Party was illegal, he was unable to obtain an exemption that would allow him to continue working. In August 1939, Jellinek, who had obtained a position at Queen's College, Oxford, was able to depart with his wife and two sons before the outbreak of war, but was unable to take his collection with him. The Electropathological Museum had already been seized by Gestapo and transferred to the University of Vienna. From 1939 to 1945, Franz Maresch, how head of the industrial safety department in the office of Soziale Selbstverwaltung und Gestaltung (Social Self-Administration and Design) in the Deutsche Arbeitsfront (German Labour Front), continued to work as the curator of the museum.

In early 1946, Stefan Jellinek contacted the University of Vienna to discuss the future of the Electropathological Museum, which was restituted to him by a decision of the rector's office in July 1946. The collection remained in Vienna, while Jellinek continued to teach at Oxford. After his death in 1968, his son Ernst Heinrich Jellinek, who lived in Edinburgh, was named sole heir and in 1980 donated half of the Electropathological Museum collection to the Allgemeine Unfallversicherungsanstalt and the other half to the Österreichischer Verband für Elektrotechnik. In 2002, the latter gave its share to the Allgemeine Unfallversicherungsanstalt, which donated the contents of the Electropathological Museum in May 2005 to the Technisches Museum Wien. The wet specimens were later transferred to the Naturhistorisches Museum Wien.
