From the handover of power to the NSDAP in 1933  until its sale in September/October 1938, the old Lindenberg commercial building at Bahnhofstr. 53 (old house number: 62/63) appears to have served as a refuge for Jewish families. It thus probably had a similar function to the Deichmanns’ house in Hoya. As a result, the residential situation is somewhat difficult to follow: ¹⁾

In the 1930s the house was owned by Emil Lindenberg, the third-eldest son of Salomon Lindenberg; he had grown up in the house. By then he was living at Engelbergplatz 3, where he also ran his practice (see here). ^{2) 3) 4)} 

Until its emigration to the USA in 1936, the family of Richard Lindenberg, the second-eldest son of Salomon Lindenberg, was registered at Bahnhofstr. 53. After his father had retired, he managed the firm S. Lindenberg in the house together with his brother Hugo (see here). ^{5) 6)}

From 1935 the family of Georg Salomon, which had previously run the shoe shop at Engelbergplatz/corner of Brautstr. 1 for ten years, was also accommodated in the house. He probably paid Emil Lindenberg no rent, because he had suffered heavy losses from the boycotts against Jewish businesses (see here). ^{8) 9)}

The family of Richard’s younger brother Hugo Lindenberg also appears to have been registered again in the Lindenberg house for a transitional period before its emigration, having lived at Bahnhofstr. 46 from around 1928 until at least 1936. The family emigrated to Argentina in the summer of 1938 (see here). ^{10) 11)}

Emil Lindenberg sold the house in 1938; the contract was signed in September and the handover took place in October (see here). At the same time, Georg Salomon and his family moved to Hoya. ^{12) 13)} 

In 1940 Rieckchen Meyer, who was over eighty, was also accommodated in Emil Lindenberg’s house at Engelbergplatz 3 after she had been forced to leave her rented flat in Bruchhöfener Strasse (see here). ^{14) 15)}
