Ludwig Reichenbach’s wife

Lina Reichenbach née Asch

Died December 1918 · exact day unresolved

A family chart and Halberstadt cemetery register preserve Lina’s married identity while disagreeing over the day of her death.

The Reichenbach family descent chart names Lina Asch as the wife of Ludwig Reichenbach. The chart gives her death as 4 December 1918.

The Halberstadt Jewish cemetery register separately records Lina Reichenbach née Asch in plot II 9 and gives 14 December 1918. The agreement on her names and month supports the identification. Until another record resolves the ten-day difference, both dates remain part of her story.

No civil marriage entry, original death entry, gravestone photograph or household record has yet been located. The surviving sources therefore establish a chart-reported marriage and cemetery-recorded identity, not a complete biography.

What remains uncertain

Lina’s marriage to Ludwig rests on a family chart. The chart reports 4 December 1918, while the cemetery register reports 14 December 1918; neither date is preferred until an original civil or cemetery record resolves the conflict.
