Carl Hermann Friedrich Niemann
Victim | 1881 | Technician

Married with Olga Anna Buchholz, whereabouts in 1948 unknown. His son Heinz Christoph Emil Niemann was born in the Bila Sultanate in Sumatra
Carl Niemann was running a machine factory cum repair shop in Tanjungbalai, North Sumatran. The enterprise was going downhill in 1929/1930. Carl's son broke off his ongoing studies in Hamburg to support his parents in NEI. In 1938 when the financial basis was a bit better, he returned to Germany where he was enlisted in the Wehrmacht. He died in the last weeks of the war at the eastern front. Attached is a more detailed biography of Heinz Niemann.
In 1940, father Carl was interned in NEI and embarked on the Van Imhoff in 1942. He drowned during the disaster. Perhaps, Carl had a bother in Germany.
At auction websites, a postcard of Carl Niemann is circulating which is addressed to his wife Olga who was imprisoned in "beschermingskamp Radja" near Brastagi in Sumatra.
