Shortly after the National Socialist takeover, the Association of
Statutory Health Insurance Physicians Kassenärztliche Vereinigung
and the medical association began compiling lists of those physicians
considered “Jewish” or “non-Aryan.” These lists were not
public, but were shared with welfare offices, hospitals, and other
health care institutions. This undated list was probably printed in
1935 by the Hamburg Association of Statutory Health Insurance
Physicians Kassenärztliche Vereinigung. It lists 150 physicians in
Hamburg, Wandsbek, and Altona who were considered “Jewish”
according to National Socialist terminology. The medical practices
listed are located all over Hamburg, with a concentration in the
Jewish quarters Grindel and Harvestehude and also in some streets
where medical practices were clustered. For example, a particularly
large number of practices was located in the Colonnaden in the city
center. These lists represent valuable sources as they not only
document the significant share of Jewish physicians in Hamburg’s
public health system, but also the medical profession’s unhesitant
and early collaboration in their exclusion.
