  1. 1938

    Nazi-era Aryanization and forced transfer

    The Jewish-owned Metallwerk Oscar Weil was subjected to an Aryanization process beginning in 1938. The transfer was completed at the end of 1939, when Clemens Kentrup, a Baden Nazi economic adviser and industrial executive, became owner. The episode formed part of the broader Nazi expropriation of Jewish businesses and is documented in historical studies of Lahr's Jewish population and regional chambers of commerce.
