As a child and youth, I've often been in a friend's house:
His family bought this house in the 30's of last century.
We all knew, it was before owned by the family of a rather famous German-Jewish poet and playwright: Else Lasker-Schüler.
One of her most famous novels a connected to that house (and my native town and a neighbour village).
As an aside: one of the remarkable headstones on the Jewish cemetary (see more here) is that of her grandmother
(Translation for the German text on the backside: Here rests Rosa Schüler, born 1790, died 1833. Peace to her ashes.

In today's local paper I read about an exhibition in the Jewish Museum Munich about folkart and .... two brothers who started that business: born in my native town, in exactly that house - their father bought it from the Schülers and sold it later to my school friend's grandfather.
Two papers from Columbus//Ohio had published stories about that - just leaving out the part I posted above :wink:
