Walter Porges

Dr. Walter Porges, a general practitioner in Spittal, highly decorated „Defense Fighter“, social democratic town councillor lost his approbationafter the „Anschluss“. Patients with little civil courage avoided his practice, others stopped paying their invoices and became so passive complices of the NS - regime.
Deported in 1943, Porges became a victim of the Holocaust in Auschwitz.

 

Quelle/Vir: Slg. A. E.
Der Spittaler Arzt, hochdekorierte Abwehrkämpfer und sozialdemokratische Gemeinderat Dr. Walter Porges verlor nach dem "Anschluss" seine Approbation.
Aus mangelnder Zivilcourage mieden Patienten seine Praxis, zahlten ihre Schulden nicht mehr und machten sich auf diese Weise zu passiven Komplizen des NS-Regimes.
Im Jahr 1941 verhaftet, wurde Porges in Auschwitz ein Opfer des Holocaust.
Antisemitism

After the “Anschluss” the persecution of Jews was not only propagated with all possible means but became also a constituting principle of NS policies. Not without a shameful passivity and tolerance by indifferent supporters the Austrian Jews were step by step excluded from law.
Jews were not permitted to wear the local costumes like “Dirndl”, “Lederhosen” and the carinthian suit, Jews were not permitted in public baths and parks. The 269 Jewish community in Carinthia were successively excluded from normal life : Civil servants were dismissed, lawyers and physicians discharged from their professional chambers.
The official introduction of Nuremberg race laws in Austria in May 1938 “legitimated” a great number of rules that enabled the economic plundering of Jews.
The “Arisierung” of Jewish property was accomplished with the “Vermögensverkehrsstelle” in Klagenfurt with the aid of local banking institutes.
The first culminating point of antisemitic agitation were the outrageous assaults and plundering in the “Reichskristallnacht” in November 1938.
The total extermination of Jews was promoted not without an advancement of carinthian NS– protagonists (first of them Odilo Globocnik) to servile executors of a perverted vision of races.
An uncompleted list indicates that 48 carinthian Jews were victims of this total extermination.
Antisemitismus

Nach dem "Anschluss" wurde die Judenverfolgung nicht nur propagandistisch auf jede erdenkliche Art gefördert, sondern zugleich zu einem bestimmenden Prinzip der NS-Politik erhoben.
Nicht ohne beschämende Passivität und Duldung durch ein indifferentes Mitläufertum wurde das österreichische Judentum Schritt für Schritt unter Ausnahmerecht gestellt.
Die antisemitischen Maßnahmen begannen mit symbolischen Diskriminierungen (Verbot, die Landestracht, Dirndl, Lederhose, besonders aber den Kärntner Anzug zu tragen). Juden war es untersagt, öffentliche Badeanstalten zu besuchen und Parkanlagen zu benutzen.
Sukzessiv wurde die 269 Personen zählende jüdische Gemeinde in Kärnten aus dem normalen Leben hinausgedrängt; als Beamte entlassen, als Rechtsanwälte und Ärzte aus den Kammern geworfen.
Die formelle Einführung der Nürnberger Rassengesetze in Österreich im Mai 1938 "legitimierte" eine Vielzahl von Bestimmungen zur wirtschaftlichen Ausplünderung der Juden.
Die "Arisierung" des jüdischen Besitzes wickelte die Vermögensverkehrsstelle in Klagenfurt unter Mithilfe lokaler Bankinstitute ab. Erster Höhepunkt antisemitischer Hetze waren die Ausschreitungen und Plünderungen anlässlich der "Reichskristallnacht" im November 1938.
Bei der Massenvernichtung der Juden avancierten auch Kärntner NS-Protagonisten (allen voran Odilo Globo?nik) zu servilen Exekutoren einer pervertierten Rassenvision.
Einer unvollständigen Liste zufolge fielen 48 Kärntner Juden dieser Massenvernichtung zum Opfer.

Painting by Stefan Porges

"Die Natur, von gegenständlicher- figürlicher Darstellung bis zu abstrakten Motiven, ist das Hauptthema der Bilder des gebürtigen Wieners Stefan Porges.

Bei einem Großteil der Bilder wird um ein alltägliches Element eine oder mehrere Ebenen von abstrakten Themen komponiert.

Oftmahls wird gerade durch diese Elemente, die meistens Fundstücke sind, die reine Darstellung der Natur von einem sehr technischen bzw. eher unnatürlichen Objekt gestört, oder auch verschmolzen.

Die dabei verwendeten teils kräftigen Farben und die durch das Material Silikon entstehende Struktur, verstärken die Harmonie der Bildkomponenten und wirken im Auge des Betrachters ganz individuell. "

Nyrsko / Neuern

The little town Nyrsko (Neuern) is situated along both sides of river Úhlava.

It was formerly divided in Oberneuern (Upper Neuern) and Unterneuern (Lower Neuern).
Oberneuern was the part upstreams.

In 1860 they counted 500 and 1000 inhabitants respectively. Since 1868 the two parts are one unit.

Each house had a number, and numbers XVIII and 62 were the houses where Samuel and Therese were born.

I guess that the first occurrence of Porgeses in Neuern in the mid 18th century was the result of the 1745 expulsion, when all Jews had to leave Prague and find new dwellings in the countryside.

Perhaps were all Porgeses one family before that ?

Ragnar Göran (2002)

History of the Jews of Neuern

The town of Neuern (czech Nýrsko) is located on the headwaters of the River Angel, near the Bavarian border.
...
The Jewish Houses of Neuern
as far as they were marked  with Roman numbers (from 1771):
VII (137). Place where there was a fire, now a garden.
Before 1618 Abraham Zaparth, his son Wolf Zaparth (1655), Wolfs daughter Radisch marries
1708 Salomon Abraham from Rabi.
1727 “through official channel for 50 Gulden the manorial little house in the Judenwinkel of Neuern between Joachimb Hann and Jakob Melech (Meller) was given to him”.
He paid annually 10 Gulden protection tax.
1742 the house was passed to his son Schmula Abraham Janowitz (1771 and 1784  called the "junger Prager").
1800 Samuel Janowitzer, David Porges.
1815 Joachim Ploch, Moritz Bloch.
About 1880 Wenzl and Katharina Schwarz (Ruaße).
About 1890 it burns down, then demolished. Jewish community.

XVI (132), Dwelling.
1670 and 1692 Herschl Plach (grandson of Meyer Bloch "before 1618"). Wens Salomon.
1705 the house is bought by “Neidlwirt” (also called “neuer Wirt”=  new innkeeper) and David Simon for 150 Gulden.
1706 David Simon marries Schönle from Horaschdowitz. He was a son of Isak and a grandson of the ancestor Jonas Windspach.
1746,1749 Sandl.
1759 Sandl or Daniel Simon.
1788 to Daniel Simon, also called Bergner, then to Salomon Porges (also written Bories and Purias).
The house had a vault and a grocery.
One half of the vault belonged to Avigail Porges in the Frischmann's house at the Jewish “Tandlmarkt” at Prague.
Salomon Porges
around 1815 paid 15 Gulden protection tax.
Daniel Fleischl. Löbl Bloch. Daniel Bloch. Siegmund and Berta Bloch.

XVIII. Dwelling, which until 1861 stood at the current street, across from the former (…) inn.
1732 Josef Österreicher and Hanna Wünschbachin.
1739 Chaim Österreicher, 1746 Maier Abraham Janowitzer, wool wholesalers, feathers and cereals.
1794 to his brother Samuel Abraham Janowitzer.
1815 David Porges, 15 Gulden protection tax. Since  then, this house was extended into the street in a way a carriage could scarcely pass ; it was removed after the fire in 1861. Street.

The authorized families of 1799


In 1799, a certain number of Jewish families for each dominion was fixed by the government ; it was controlled and not to be exceeded, because there was a constant increase of Jewish families.
Within each dominium, the post for Jewish families were distributed on the locations where Jews had already settled.
The families of the Bistritz dominium started with the country’s number begin 5143, so that each family had a country’s and a dominium´s number.
In 1799, in the area of Bistritz, there where 96 such "family posts" or "Familianten", and they were mainly distributed between Neuern, Janowitz, Drosau, Deschenitz and Braunbusch.
Neuern had the posts no. 11 – 29, then 64, 78, 80 and 81 : altogether 23 authorized families.
Most Jews had Drosau with 24 posts, followed by Neuern with 23, Janowitz with 10, Deschnitz with 9, Braunbusch with 3 and Bistritz with 2 posts.
The remaining families were divided upon smaller places.

Post 15 :  Klauber Salomon (parents and spouse unknown, married 1775) died (date unknown) without children.
Successor on the post was Fleischl Daniel (from post 11), his wife Susanna Porges (married 1819).
Sons: Albert, Josef.

Post 18 : Hahn Jakob (parents unknown). Wife Magdalena N. (married 1774), died 1816 without sons.
Successo r: Ploch Löbel (Parents: Gabriel Ploch and Johanna Schwarz).
Married 1829 Rosina Porges
. Son Samuel.

Post 19 : Löwit Eliazim (parents and wife unknown) no sons, "1805 verlustiget" (he lost the post) (as poor taxpayer). Successor : Klauber Elias (died 1832, parents: Nephtaly Klauber and Libuscha Wiener) married 1806 Sarah Schwarz.
Son Hermann (born 1812) received 1832 this post, married 1834 Rebekka Porges, son Josef Eduard (born 1838, died 1839).

Post 25 : Porges Salomon (Parents: Jakob Porges and Rachel N.), married 1788 Abigail Berger.
Son David got his father's family post, married 1814 Barbara Janowitzer, son Solomon in 1843 moved to Hungary, son Samuel married 1839 Fanni Epstein, née Reichenbaum, son Lippmann.


In Millik:
Post 53:  Fleischmann Moises.
It is striking that in 1799 no post existed in Holletitz.
There was a brandy distillery of the dominion/rule of Bistritz which stood beside the brick shack, right of the Neuern road to the railway station (…), which usually was operated by a Jew.
1799 in Janowitz there is a post occupied by the Jew David Holletitz.
This name indicates, like many other names already mentioned (Janowitz, Neumarkt, Neuern, Österreicher (= Austrian) the former residence and subsequent origin of these families.
The regulation of the numbers of Jewish families forced the larger part of the offspring of each community to severe resolutions.
The progress of the era provided resorts which reduced the plight of the later-born.
Already the patent from Nov 1st 1781, with which bondage was repealed, freed all subjects – and hence as well the Jews – to choose a craft or skill without permission of authority.
This opened new possibilities to all the second sons who hitherto were doomed to singleness or emigration.
Farming, trade, art and qualifications as a surgeon became frequent new paths to establish one's own family.
Also in the Bistitzer dominium this boon was applied and hence in the year 1809 Isak Ploch in Neuern (post Nr.14) received the marriage license as a farmer, 1844 Joel Klauber (born 1804) from Lower Neuern got the marriage license as a butcher and 1849 Isak, son of Moises Küberl from Drosau got the marriage license as a weaver.
Emigration anyhow didn’t stop.
In 1812 Lazar Hartmann Drosau emigrated to Hungary, and that without consent of authority.
In 1843 Salomon Porges and Aron Janowsky from Neuern went to Hungary and one year earlier Löwit Simon from Drosau (…) emigrated to America, perhaps the first resident from our area who dared to cross the great ocean.

The trading of feathers in Neuern

The small, insignificant town of Neuern soon outdid the royal towns of western Bohemia (Pilsen, Taus, Klattau) in feather trading.
How was it possible?
We have seen that the Jews of the area were the real creators and promoters of this trade.
However, the royal towns had an old privilege according to which they didn’t have to tolerate Jews within their walls.
They did use this privilege. Hardly did they accept the economic assiduous Jews to stay overnight within their walls at the time of market.
Because they could not gain ground here they transferred their action on the grounds of nobility in the periphery and hinterland of these towns.
In Neuern they had the near border and important trade routes, easy access options, the promotion of the Lords (…) and the existence of a densely populated area which was needed to work up the feathers and the trade as pedlars.
Since trade with geese and feathers from its beginnings was aimed to the “Reich”, which means towards west, it is easily understandable that these goods were accumulated in the western Bohemia.
Here (…) since ever were collected the geese and bales of feathers, the abundances of the country, in order to take its way to Germany.
(…) The region of Taus, Neumark and Neuern till Dosau was the main square of the bohemian, later the European trade for bed feathers. Neuern was the centre of this trade.
In an earlier edition of Mayer’s Encyclopaedia Neuern is named downright the centre of the European trade in feathers.
For the old age and the importance of this trade for West Bohemia speaks the fact that already in the 14th century, under Emperor Charles IV, the town of Taus received the privilege beside of holding a market of two weeks, to export feathers.
(… …)
In Neuern the Jewish Community had to pay 15 Gulden for a special “feather trade tax”.
In the middle of the 18th century here Meier Abraham Janowitz (bought house no. XVIII from Khanny Österreicher) ran the largest feather business.
(…) (Together with his brother Samuel Abraham Janowitzer – house no. VII –) he founded a trading company in which they affiliated in 1783 also Meiers wife Sorl and his underage son Aron.
For the latter they ensured a heritage of 500 Gulden.
The company ran under the name "Meier und Samuel Janowitzer " and after Meier’s death under "Samuel und Meier Janowitzer seel. Erben''.
It didn’t last long under this name ; already in 1790 Samuel Abraham Janowitzer closed a "firm contract in wool and feather trade" with his two sons Wolf and Abraham for six years.
(…) The company was named Samuel Janowitzer and sons.
(…) When Samuel Abraham Janowitz was nominated in 1769 for the post as Judenrichter (Jew’s judge) he asked the authority to not consider him because he had “considerable Kapitalien and his work constrain to travel often and far (…)”.
Count Palm was appreciative of his arguments and assigned the office of Bistritz to nominate someone else as judge.
This trade company which worked with – for this time – extraordinary means and span business connections over a major part of Bohemia changed its name then in “Janowitzer, Porges & Co”, later in “Janowitzer & Fleischl”. (…)
The present owner, Mr. Alexander Fleischl, is also Royal Danish consul.
Also very old is the company Klauber, today “A. Klaubers Sohn” in Neuern.
It conducts a steam cleaning and ships feathers to mail order companies and small national and international stores.
Around 1840 one of the largest feathers stores in Neuern was the Company Porges, Vater & Sohn ; for the period around 1800 must be remembered the business in bed feathers in Neuern Hönig Hahn (…).
(…) The Neuern feather business took a lively boom after the French Wars and especially after the big fire of Hamburg (1842).
Around 1845 from the Neuern area an annual quantity of 10.000 cwt was exported to Germany, Switzerland, Holland and France.
Around 1800 a town in Western Bohemia tried to dispute Neuern its dominating rank in the feather business : Alt- and Neuzedlisch near Tachau, with an old and rich Jewish community.
The founder of the house Rothschild in Paris is said to have made efforts to get in contact with a wholesale dealer of Altzedlisch, but without success.
Large fires prevented the further expansion of these towns and Neuern left these competitors far behind.
The Neuerner Jewish feather merchants, restricted by many illiberal regulations and prevented from travelling and peddling, were forced to look for a way out which they found in engaging the Christian population of the Angel Valley and send them worldwide to sell their products.
The business grew and developed well.
(…) Soon a network of branches spread over the whole German Empire and the alpine Länder.
As the Christian salesmen travelled in company (…) for cases of emergency they had to be able to communicate even in the presence of their customers in a way that was incomprehensible for them.
Therefore their patrons, the Jewish business magnates (…) had equipped them with a kind of secret language which vocabulary almost entirely derived from Hebrew.
Some snatches/chunkes of this feather trading jargon is still alive in the Neuern idiom.
The sheep wool trade stood in close relationship to the feather trade (…) while feather were the filling of cushions and blankets. (…)
There were sheep flocks in each village and markes at these times.
The wool was cleaned and combed in homes, partly spun and worked to stockings and Scherkenstoff (??).
The wool that was not consumed in homes was given to the traders, for export. Special licenses were requested for this purpose.
In 1768, the Bistritz authority certified that Mayer Abraham Janowitz from Neuern had charged a cart with 14 bags of domestic Bohemian wool.
He wanted to carry it “through the electorate Bavaria to Salzburg and Tirol.”
Around 1790, the company Samuel Janowitzer & Söhne was the conventionary purchaser of the herrschaftliche wool.
