Brief von Leni Drees an Irmgard Schubring über ihre Flucht aus dem Elsass nach Tübingen zur Familie Michel
Auf dem Briefkopf steht: „Wilhelm Drees - St. Kreuz im Lebertal - (Elsass)“, heute heißt der Ort Sainte-Croix-aux-Mines. Geschrieben hat den Brief aber nicht Wihlem Drees, sondern seine Ehefrau Leni Drees geb. Dittmann. Sie schreibt an Irmgard Schubring in Badersleben, die Schwester ihrer Mutter. Nach der Besetzung des Elsass durch die Wehrmacht hatte der in Sainte-Croix- aux-Mines wohnende Wilhelm Drees eine vermutlich jüdische Firma übernommen. Frau Beck nimmt zumindest an, dass es sich dabei um eine jüdische Tabak Firma gehandelt hat. Nach einer Googlesuche käme die Firma F.J.Burrus Tabak- u. Cigarrenfabriken in Frage. Im französischen Wikipedia-Artikel zur Familie Burrus steht allerdings, dass das Werk in Sainte-Croix-aux-Mines schon nach 1918 verstaatlicht wurde. Die Flucht der Familie Drees endet bei der Familie von Professor Otto Michel in der Karlstraße Nr. 2 bei Trautwein. Wilhelm Drees starb am 28.10.1945 und wurde auf dem Tübinger Stadtfriedhof beerdigt, später ist dort auch seine Ehefrau Leni Drees beerdigt worden. Beide Gräber sind heute nicht mehr vorhanden.

Additional information
BZK no.
The Bundeszentralkartei (BZK) is the central register of the federal government and federal states for completed compensation proceedings. When a claim is entered into the BZK, a number is assigned for unique identification. This BZK number refers to a compensation claim, not to a person. If a person has made several claims (e.g. for themselves and for relatives), each claim generally has its own BZK number. Often, the file number of the respective compensation authority is used as the BZK number.
This number is important for making an inquiry to the relevant archive.
Delict according to Nazi judicial system
Conduct that was first criminalized under National Socialism (e.g. the Treachery Act, ‘Judenbegünstigung’) or which the Nazi judiciary prosecuted more severely (e.g. high treason).
Reason for persecution
The reasons provided here are based on the wording in the reasons for persecution stated in the sources.
Role in the proceeding
‘Verfolgt’ refers to a person or organization that was persecuted under National Socialism. They could file a claim for compensation or restitution as part of the Wiedergutmachung policy. If the application was submitted by another person or organization than the persecutee (for example, their son or daughter), this other person or organization is designated as ‘antragstellend’ and their relationship to the persecutee is noted, if known. In the sources, the persecutee is sometimes referred to as ‘Geschädigter’ (aggrieved party) and the applicant as ‘Anspruchsberechtigter’(claimant).
