gestorben 1978, (102 Jahre). In the first decades of this century, several citizens of Jewish faith converted to
Protestantism. It began with the well-known financial council Siegmund Hirschmann and his
wife Eugenie, whose maiden name was Ordenstein. They were baptized on April 30, 1903, at the
age of 45 and 40, respectively. They already had their two children, Walter and Else, baptized on
June 5, 1898, when they were 13 and 11 years old, and their parents were still Jewish. Also, in
1903, Numa Czarnikow, a bank manager, became Protestant at the age of 59. He had lived at
Karolinenstrasse 9 since 1891. By court order of August 6, 1931, Abraham Wolpinsky, a
construction engineer, who lived at Zimmerstrasse 16, was granted permission to use “Anton
Christian” as first names. He came from a Jewish family of Russian-Orthodox faith from the
Russian town of Konstantinograd. Before his marriage in Arnstadt, he was baptized here on
September 27, 1907. He probably escaped persecution later because of his life story.
