Feuchtwanger's ancestors originated from the Middle Franconian city of Feuchtwangen which, following a pogrom in 1555, expelled all its resident Jews. Some of the expellees subsequently settled in Fürth where they were called the Feuchtwangers, meaning those from Feuchtwangen.[1] Feuchtwanger's grandfather Elkan moved to Munich in the middle of 19th century.
Ludwig Feuchtwanger was born in 1885 to Orthodox Jewish margarine manufacturer Sigmund Feuchtwanger and his wife Johanna née Bodenheim.[2] He was the second son in a family of nine siblings. He was the younger brother of Lion Feuchtwanger, a German-Jewish novelist and playwright. He and his brother Martin became authors.
Ludwig lived in a home on Grillparzer Strasse, and was a neighbor of Adolf Hitler. After Kristallnacht in 1938, following brief incarceration in Dachau, Ludwig escaped to England.[3] His son is the London-based historian Edgar Feuchtwanger. Two of his sisters settled in Palestine following the rise of the Nazi Party, one was killed in a concentration camp, and one sister settled in New York City.
