Brummel Family Pictures

From Steven E. Brummel: a Brummel family wedding in Prague in 1904. It is the wedding of Elsa Brummel to Karl Hirsch at the Hotel Bristol on March 27, 1904. Moritz Brummel and his wife Jenny are sitting to the left of the bride (Elsa). Moritz's daughter Gretl is in the top row. His youngest son as a little boy (Kurt - who died in 1933 of appendicitis) is on the middle of the bottom row (in the crewcut and dark sailor's suit with an adult's hand on his right shoulder).

From Steven E. Brummel: WWI-era photo taken in front of the Brummel ancestral home in Neu Wallisdorf (probably where my great-great grandmother Fannie was born!)

Erna Brummel Bachtrog with her husband, parents and brother. Erna was a Brummel born in Neu Wallisdorf. Her mother was Ewallo or Gabriele. She grew up in Prague before WWI and married an Austrian doctor. He served the Austro-Hungarian Army in the Dolomite Campaign in Italy. She was a friend of visiting professor Albert Einstein in 1907 or 1908 (he taught her brothers). Erna said there was a Brummel (Karl Brummel -Moritz's brother) who ran a construction company that built a part of Prague and gave his name to it (still named Brummel).

From Steven E. Brummel: a copy of an old photo from the Moritz Brummel branch, which he obtained from a long lost Czech cousin, Eva Brummel Nelson (age 77), now living in Bristol. Eva came to Britain from Pilsen on the Kindertransport train in July 1939 and left behind her parents and younger sister (they died in Auschwitz in 1944). She married an Englishman and had two daughters (now ages 45 and 43 both married with their own kids). This photo was taken during the First World War in Pilsen of Eva's grandfather Moritz and part of his family (wife Jenny, daughter Gretl and son Hans) . The photo is in postcard format and was sent to Eva's father (Leo) then a POW in Russia to indicate that all was well at home. Conditions apparently were not that hard for Leo as a POW. He was a violinist and served once a week in the local Russian town's orchestra.
