Remarks:
(1) Lina and Otto Schrank listed in the 1937 Stettin Adreßbuch as owner of "Kolonialwarenhandlung" and shopkeeper, Boelckestraße 12, with lodgings at No. 11 (2) Otto Schönemann, 1937 at Wilhelm-Busch-Weg 79, Stettiner Adreßbuch 1937. (3) In the 'Einwohner-Verzeichnis Kolberg 1865' the name SCHRANK is not mentioned. Most probably both teachers named SCHRANK were from the same family and moved to Kolberg because of their occupation.
