Supplement to the Marktplatz 40, Kellermann Family Story
We were happy to hear from a descendant of the Kellermann family in Israel in December 2003.
On 15. December 2003 Uri Kellermann sent us this e-mail:
I am Uri Pinhas Kellermann, the son of Kurt Kellermann, who was the third child of Aaron Kellermann. Aaron had married Miryam Grünbaum in Nuremberg on 5. April 1904.
They had four children:| Bella | * 9. June 1906 |
| Siegfried | * 7. November 1907 |
| Kurt | * 2. February 1909 |
| Ludwig | * 22. July 1910 |
| Mein
Vater Kurt, dessen jüdischer Namen Kalonimos war, ist am
02.02.1909 in Nürnberg geboren. Er verließ Nürnberg im April
1933 und ging nach Israel (damals noch Palästina). Am 13.01.1935
hat er meine Mutter geheiratet. Meine Mutter war Martha (jüdischer
Namen Mirjam) née Flamm. Mein Vater war ein Spielwaren-Grossist
und wohnte alle Jahre in Haifa.
Wir sind 3
Geschwister: |
|
Unser Vater Kurt hat uns im April 2000 verlassen und unsere Mutter im April 1998.
Aharon Kellermann, Ludwig’s son, sent us some more information:
My late father (passed away in 2003), was married to my mother Lilli (Lea) (ne Zimmer) who lives in Haifa Israel.
I was born on 25.8.45 in Haifa Israel (Palestine at the time). I am married to Michal (ne Bergman), and we live in Haifa Israel. We have three married daughters and six grandchildren
My sister Batja was born on 17.1.52 in Haifa Israel. She married Josef Lederer, and they live in Jerusalem Israel. They have five children, three of whom are married, and six grandchildren.
Judit Brom-Muenz aus Jerusalem schrieb:
Mein Name ist Judith (Inge-Lore) Brom, geborene Muenz, Tochter von Bella Muenz, geborene Kellerman.
Meine Mutter Bella ist am 10. Juli 1967 in Jerusalem verstorben,
Ich bin in Nuernberg am 29.11.1932 geboren.
Meine verstorbener Bruder Schlomo Gavriel Chaim ist am 11.09.1939 geboren und am 08.03.1968 verstorben.
Ich und mein Mann Meir Brom haben 4 Kinder: Michael, Marganit, Avital, Bilha und 14 Enkelkinder und 6 Urenkel.
Uri Kellermann added:
I assume that Seligman (whose Jewish name was Pinchas) Kellermann had at least one other son, whose name would have been Leopold. Leopold’s wife was Doris, and they had a daughter, and a son named Arthur.
I will attempt to find more details.
My father Kurt, whose Jewish name was Kalonimos, was born 2. February 1909.
He left Nuremberg in April 1933 and went to Israel (which was Palastine then).
He married my mother on 13. January 1935. Her name was Martha (Mirjam) Flamm. My father was a toy wholesaler and lived in Haifa.We are three siblings:
| Uri Pinchas | * 2. September 1937* | has 9 children and 39 grand children |
| Ruth - now Weiss | * 26. August 1941 | has 2 children and 6 grandchildren, lives in Jerusalem |
| Eli A'aron | * 15. August 1947 | has 5 children and 3 grandchildren, lives in Jerusalem |
Our father Kurt passed away in 2000, and our mother in April 1998.
If you have any other questions, I will be glad to help.
I was born in Israel, forgive me, if my German has mistakes in it.
Greetings and best wishes to the studentsOn 10. April 2004 Uri Kellermann sent us an e-mail with the title pages of “book of laws” which had been owned (part of the estate) by his great-grandfather Seligmann Kellermann.
Uri Kellermann added this:
This is the title-page of the second part of the “Mishna” the canonical collection of the Jewish Law Literature, which was written in the second century.
The book was printed in 1801 in Vienna in the Imperial-Royal Licenced Hebrew Book Printing Office, and my great-grandfather Seligmann Kellermann owned it.
All this was of great interest to us, because we had learned much about the fate and history of the family of Aaron Kellermann, son of Seligmann Kellermann. Until now, we knew nothing about him.
Uri Kellermann also sent us copies of his father’s passport from the Nuremberg passport office.
In the memorial book of the “Nuremberg Victims of the Shoa” additional members of the Kellermann family are listed and pictured.

Uri is the son of Kurt and great-grandson of Seligmann Kellermann.
7th July 2007: The Kellermann family visited us
Uri and Duba Kellermann visited us with their adult children at school. On this impressive day we learned a lot about living in Israel and about the Kellermann family. After the visit in our classroom we made a sightseeing tour and presented interesting former Jewish houses in Gunzenhausen.
