About This Document

Document Creator
Siegfried Urias
Biography
Dr. Siegfried Urias, a German Jewish lawyer, was born September 2, 1895 in Hamburg. His law office was at Jungfernstieg 24 street. Like all Jewish lawyers, Dr. Urias lost his law credentials in November 1938. He successfully applied for permission to practice as a so-called legal adviser ("Rechtskonsulent"). Dr. Urias was able to emigrate in April 1939 to Chile.
System of Arrangement
Archival History Note. The Higher Regional Court confiscated the files of the deported or emigrated Jewish legal advisers. The files, which were handed over to the State Archives in 1986, were badly affected by improper storage; some of the files were removed because of mixed contents or severely damaged (e.g. by tearing out the stamps). The order of the records was based on the filing system of the archivist of the Staatsarchiv Hamburg, e.g., the files were recorded chronologically in the order of their opening.
