Hugo WERTHEIM - listed below

"ONE-OF-MANY" ! What a conceit. Assuming multiple personalities maybe. This "ONE" wants to be the voice of the many, of the mob. But it is an outright deceit. Some people are blatant fearmongers. They fear much, are suspicious by nature, and then hide their fearfulness behind a nom-de-plume. Do some people simply love war and enmity?

Hugh WERTHEIM's letter is below and is signed with his clear moniker.

Rudolph Robert Carl WACHSMUTH von FREDERHAUSEN was born in 1845 at Göttingen, Hannover, in the progressive Kingdom of Hannover, at least fifteen years before the Unification of Deutschland. At agefifteen he became a 'Bremer Wasserschout' a Water Scout at Bremerhaven. On the 25th November 1861 at age sixteen, he departed Bremerhaven, Hannover, as a member of the Crew of the ship 'PHOENIX' bound for Hanava, Kuba.

Ehrenfried Reinholdt WARTHOLD
Ehrenfried Reinholdt WARTHOLD - was born on the 27th May 1884 at Breslau, Silesia, Deutschland. Warthold emigrated out of the Deutsch Reich by way of the life of the sea, and found interim refuge in teh U.S.A. for four years and then in Great Britain for two years, from which country he embarked at the Port of London with passage on the Australian-route vessel 'WILCANIA" to arrive in Australia at the Port of Adelaide on the 11th November 1911. He was registered as an Enemy Aliens No 15 in North Adelaide. After 11 years in Australia, married to Lavinia Rose Warthold and they had five children when, at the age of 38, he took the Oath to be Naturalised in his Aliens Memorial of the 6th April 1922 when residing at No.19 Murray Street, Adelaide,and working as a Gardener.


Otto Anton WASCHATZ Dresden, Sachsen, Sculptural Artisan


Otto Anton Waschatz was artisan and inventive woodcarver from Dresden, Saxony. He first arrived in Australia via the Port of Adelaide in January 1877, and subsequently first made an 'Aliens Memorial' for Naturalisation as a British citizen there, through the agency of the then well-known German-Australian leader Mr P. F. Basedahl, on 21st April 1882. Waschatz was then a carver, aged 27 and had been in South Australia for five years. He married Ruth Effie Romforth during the 1880s and they produced four Australian daughters, each named with hybrid inspiration: Ophelia Esalda 1889, Eona Sadie 1892, Lalia 1897, and Melvard Flora 1899 born in Richmond, Victoria. From about then we find Waschatz's second Alien's memorial, dated 1896, but in the State of Victoria. Neither Naturalisation, it seems could be produced by him when the Alien Act came into force in 1914, by which time he was living and working in Richmond, Victoria. By then Waschatz had long been in business making original carved plaster building mouldings at Lottoid Proprietory Limited - Fibrous Plaster and Lottoid Works at 119 - 123 Hoddle Street, Richmond, so Waschatz's is the artist and craftsman with a Dresden formation in a good part responsible for the many creative plaster ceilings of the Edwardian houses of Melbourne. In 1899-1900 he took out Australian patents on one of his carving creations for 'Improvements in coffins or receptacles for the dead.' He was commissioned by the City of Bendigo to do the fancy plasterwork on the Bendigo Town Hall, originally designed by the German-Australian architect, Wilhelm Vahland, when it was remodelled between 1878 and 1886. In 1915 Waschatz was suspected of being an Enemy Alien, and a Spy, and then accused by members of the Australian public of signalling to German submarines lurking in the Western Port or Port Phillip Bays from his establishment or, at least the one to which he and friends sought refuge from the city, and called the 'German Club,' up on the hill above Belgrave, in the Dandenong Ranges. If you look closely at the stark unsympathetic mug-shot of him above you will see the pin slot and two holes in the top left hand background where it was needled onto the papers from O. A. Waschatz's official Enemy Alien and Suspect MP16 file.
Waschatz, was, of course, investigated, but found to be in no way implicated or guilty in transactions with, and neither lights of mirrors were found capable of making signals to the distant, yet maybe lurking, hidden 'German Enemy.' This did not stop local vigilantes and hoods from terrorising, stone-throwing, smashing windows, and finally, burning down the Waschatz's and friends 'club' premises by the Sherbrooke Forest, in Terry's Avenue, Belgrave. In Richmond, after the war, Waschatz took out patents for some of his originals, such as an 'Improved method of and apparatus for manufacturing plaster building sheets (1927). On of his legacies is in the value placed on many heritage houses featuring plaster mouldings in Melbourne, though I have never seen any such in Belgrave. - Otto Anton Waschatz died at age 80 in Richmond, Melbourne in 1935.

WEGENER BROTHERS :
1. Julius Bernhardt Reinhold WEGENER was born in the the heart of the Deutsch Reich, in its Kapital, Berlin on the 27th February 1879, in an Empire not yet nine years old. At about age nine he emigrated with his family from Berlin out of Hamburgh on the ship - Seemily named for a Austrian-Prussian reconciliation - the "S.S.HAPSBURG" arriving in the Port of Melbourne, Victoria in November 1888. As a young man he left Melbourne for work in South Africa where he was married at Pietermaritzburg, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa to Sophia Johanne Dorothea UPPINK on the 4th July 1903. The Bernhardt WEGENER family, with his wife Sophia and their South-African born first child Leslie Eric Wegener (1905) came back to Melbourne on the ship "FORTUNATUS" in May 1906.

In his subsequent Naturalisation Document, Bernhardt Wegener includes the following MEMO, which sheds light both on his activities in South Africa, and it also displays something of his Mentality in respect to his pro-British stance.
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN : - I went over to Africa before the Boer War and was employed as shunter on the Natal Government Railways in Ladysmith. I went through the siege, and was attached to General George White's staff as despatch rider, for which I hold Queen Victoria's War Medal. - B. Wegener, 11 Kelso street, Richmond.

The Bernhard Wegener family subsequently produced four more Australian-born children in Melbourne.

After 29 years out of Deutschland, in Australia and South Africa, at age 35, Wegener took the Oath for his Aliens Memorial for Naturalisation while living at 11 Kelso Street, Richmond, Victoria, from where he worked as a Brass-founder or Brass-finisher, on the brink of war on the 6th August 1914.

2. Maximilian Julius Rudolph WEGENER was born on the 16th August 1885 in Berlin, Brandenburg, Prüßen, the son of Julius Bernhardt Heinrich August WEGENER (1846-1909) & Emma Bertha Cordelia HOHENSEE (1848-1920).

Gustav Adolph WEITZ – Eisenach, Saxe-Weimar
Gustav Adolph WEITZ was born on the 27th February 1863 at Eisenach, in the Grand Duchy of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach, Deutschland. Eisenach is now with the Thuringen State in Eastern Germany. Gustav Adolph WEITZ emigrated out of the Deutsch Reich by way of the interim hub of refuge in Amerika and there embarked from the Port of New York, New York on the Glasgow ship 'DUMPHREESHIRE' to arrive in Australia at the Port of Melbourne on the 29th Dezember 1899. On disembarking Weitz resided for two years in Victoria, then he immigrated north to New south wales for five years. In about 1906 he went from NSW to Queensland for a year and then turned back south and went to South Australia. After eleven and a half years in Australia at age of 48 Weitz was still an unmarried man, and then living at the Salvation Army Home, in Whitemore Square, Broton, Adelaide, South Australia, when he took the Oath of his Alien's Memorial for Naturalisation on the 7th August 1911. Weitz was a boot and shoemaker by profession. After the 'Not So' Great War, Weitz aksed to be de-Naturalised and his Oath was revoked on the 17th September 1919, and for some reason was deported, yet when he returned to his native Weimar around the times of the Weimar Republic he found himself there treated as an foreign and enemy alien in his place of birth, and was described as 'an unfortunate individual' who was 'unable to regain his citizenship rights in his native land.' Weitz wrote from No 39 Amalion Strasse, Weimar to the Australia High Commission in London seeking to regularize his German Nationality and received an answer of 26th July 1926 saying that he was no linger a British Citizen, but if he thought his native land was going to transform itself out of the torrent of martial purpose which it had nurture he obviously had more of the romance of ideology than any real perception of the coming reality to his political outlook. I am not yet sure what became of Herr Weitz.

Hugo WERTHEIM Pianoforte Manufacturer, Melbourne
Hugo WERTHEIM was born about 1854 at Lispenhausen, Rotenburg-an-der-Fulda, Heßen Naßau (Hessen-Nassau), Central Deutschland. Werteim emigrated by way of the freedom of England and there embarked at the Port of London on the ship "GREAT BRITAIN" to arrive in Australia at the Port of Melbourne on the 19th October 1875
At the age of 27 years, after five years and seven months in Victoria, he took the Oath to be Naturalised in his Aliens Memorial of the 11th May 1881 at Melbourne. He then described himself as a Merchant.

Wertheim set up a significant Piano Manufacturing business in Melbourne. In 1914-1915 there were some disparaging slurs in the press to which he made the following reply:

TO THE EDITOR OF THE ARGUS.

Sir,-My name and the names of some members of my family have been prominently before, the public for some little time past, and more recently before the members of he Chamber of Manufactures, as reported in your issues of this week. Untrue and unfair statements have been made about us. Will you grant me permission to shortly state the facts, so that the public may be aware of them. My friends who know me do not need this. I am not a German subject, nor do I owe any allegiance or duty to Germany.

Some years ago (about 30) I applied to the German Government to renounce my German citizenship, and not to be regarded any further as a German subject. This application was granted by the German Government, and I hold a document under seal from the German Government to this effect. I enclose a translation of the same for your perusal and information. At the same time I applied to and became naturalised as a British subject, and I have resided and carried on business here ever since.

My children wore born, brought up, and educated in Australia, and my eldest son was sent to America (not Germany) to finish his technical education. These facts I think speak for themselves. I am both in fact and in heart a Britisher, and so are all my family.

Mr. Lawrence, at a meeting of the Chamber of Manufactures, said that I employed a large number of Germans in my piano factory, and that I imported a large portion of the work required for the manufacture of such pianos from Germany. Neither of these statements is correct. I do not import German pianos, but I manufacture my pianos in Australia, and brand them as "Australian-made pianos."

When I invested in large capital and started my factory, which identified us still closer with Australia, I applied to the Federal Government for permission to bring out under contract 12 men with technical experience in piano manufacture from Germany. This was granted to me, but I only brought out nine; the rest of some 150 employees were and have been engaged locally. I only import a very small percentage of the material required for the manufacture of each instrument, and this only because it cannot be made or obtained here, and the rest of the work is carried out and completed entirely in Melbourne.

In view of the foregoing facts am I to be branded as a German sympathiser and German subject and not it Britisher, and not to be trusted? I submit, with every respect, that to do so is to treat both me and my family unfairly. Though I may have been born in Germany. I feel with horror and indignation, the terrible violation of the rules of civilised warfare and humanity.

It was only when this war commenced that my loyalty to the British Crown was ever questioned, and that I have been accused of sympathising with Germany and the course which Germany is adopting. I should have thought that my record in this community for the past 40 years would have rendered this disclaimer quite unnecessary on my part, but in making it I do so only in the spirit of placing those dear to me and myself right before our fellow citizens.

Would it be suggested for one moment that any English merchant who imported German pianos or any other goods from Germany before the war was disloyal to the British Crown, and sympathised with Germany on account of his having done so? Surely not, anti why should this stigma be attached to me, after I have formally renounced my German citizenship and make my goods here.

My son originally became a member of the council of the Chamber of Manufactures at the request of several of its members, and his recent renominalion was made at a general meeting of the chamber, without a single dissent. He is now travelling through England, Canada, and the United States, endeavouring to make arrangements to import the verv small percentage of parts which we originally obtained from Germany, to complete the manufacture of our pianos.

British fair play and justice are proverbial to any honest men, and to any one who conducts himself loyally and fairly. I submit that I have done this, and that, in addition, I am a British subject, and that the only thing that can be urged against me is that I happen to have been born in Germany.

I desire to thank the executive of the Chamber of Manufactures for their generous disclaimer of the accusations which have been made against us.

-Yours. &.c., HUGO WERTHEIM.
May 13. (1915) - Published in The Argus (Melbourne, Vic. : 1848 - 1956) Friday 14 May 1915


Note: More recently, I made the interesting discovery that one great grandson of Hugo Wertheim is well-known to us in Australia, and especially in Victoria, being a former Premier. He goes by the name of Jeff Kennett.

Adolph Friedrich WITTHOLZ
Adolphus Friedrich Christoph Heinrich Leberecht WITTHOLZ was born on 24 November 1848 in the Grand Duchy of Mecklenburg-Strelitz. His father Ferdinand David Julius Wittholz was an Erbyächter, which, though unsure, I suspect is a Small-Boatman. Ferdinand was born at Peckatel, Mecklenburg, but Adolph F.C.H.L. was born in his mother Adolphine Stegmann's home town of Torwitz, Mecklenburg, on the Ziercker See, one of many lakes of that district, to the north of Berlin. When he was a young man, and the eldest of eight children, there came German Unification and with it, Mandatory Military Conscription, but soon, Adolph Friedrich emigrated to Australia, via England, arriving in the Port of Melbourne in July 1874 on the ship "GREAT BRITIAN" at age 25. He settled in south-Eastern Victoria, and worked on the late frontier of Gippsland, in farm labour and frontier Timber getting. Inside two years he was married to Martha Johanna Koenig, at Berwick, West Gippsland in 1876. Martha was an Australian born girl of Prussian-religious refugee parentage, both her mother and father had came with their families from Silesia in 1849. The Wittholz's settled in the Latrobe valley of Gippsland, living first towards the Australian Alps at Upper Maffra, and then in the fertile valley at Driffield, and Hazelwood. They had three Australian sons and two daughters, the youngest born in 1887 never knew her father for he died on 28 May 1887 at Morwell and is buried in Hazelwood Cemetery. His widow, Marthe, married a year later, to Welsh-born settler Jenkin Hopkins, who brought up the Wittholz children as his own along with the two Hopkins girls who were born to the Wittholz-Hopkins family.
