Bad
Neustadt a.d.Saale
Rhön-Grabfeld
(Unterfranken)
In Bad Neustadt/Saale there is a
commemorative plaque for the fallen soldiers of World War I at
the mortuary of the "Stadtfriedhof" (entrance Goethe-Straße) and
a further memorial for the dead of World War II. Below the
inscription:DIE GEFALLENEN HELDEN DER STADT NEUSTADT a/S
(To the fallen heroes of the town of Neustadt a/S), the names of
many fallen soldiers are to be discovered, among them the names
of the Jewish fallen combatants:
PLAUT LEO GEF. 25. OKT 1915
KLEIN
MAX GEF. 3. SEPT 1916
REIS
NORBERT GEF. 21. MÄRZ 1918
FRANK
LUDWIG GEF. 2. FEBR. 1919
A memorial for the
combatants and fallen soldiers of the war in 1870/71 is
to be found in the area between the city wall (near the
"Altes Realgymansium") and the actual "Realgymnasium".
It is well possible that Jews are among the listed names
- but up to now it hasn't been proved.
On the Jewish cemetery in
the southern part of the "Gartenstadt" you will find
the following inscription on the gravestone of Frau
Linda Plaut s.A.:
P N RUHESTÄTTE MEINER
LIEBEN GATTIN. UNSERER LIEBEN MUTTER FRAU LINDA
PLAUT GEB. BLUM GEB. 4. JULI 1859. GEST. 13. MÄRZ
1930.
(P N Here lies my

march 1930).
DAVID PLAUT GEB. 1. JUNI 1856 GEST. 13. FEBR. 1940
Most probably a
victim of the Third Reich.
A third plaque
commemorates the son, who gave his life for Germany
as a soldier, with the following text:
DEM

PLAUT EINJ. KRIEGSFREIW. 9. BAYR. INF. RGT.GEB. 8.

december 1894, died for his country on the 25th of
october 1915 at Sasse TNZBH)
