Biographical/Historical Information
The lawyer and politician Ludwig Heilbrunn was born in Frankfurt/Main in 1870 where he was active in his law office, in Frankfurt’s bar association, as well as in the city’s municipal administration. He also published writings about law and economics, as well as on culture and the arts. Ludwig Heilbrunn escaped Nazi-Germany in 1939: he lived “a beggar’s life” in London. His two sons escaped to Amsterdam and to the U.S. respectively; Ludwig Heilbrunn’s gentile wife Clara née Koch had died in 1936. He returned to Germany – not to Frankfurt – in 1949. Ludwig Heilbrunn died in Bühl/Baden in 1951.
