Martha Münz, née Sauerbach who was born in Schwabenheim/ Rheinhessen on June 30, 1871 was the daughter of the wine merchant Abraham Sauerbach and his wife Sofie, née Keller. Since the early 1890s, Martha Sauerbach was married to the doctor Philipp (Pinkus) Münz in Nuremberg. Their first son Alfred was born there in 1897, Heinrich followed in 1900.

In 1903, the family moved to Bad Kissingen and Martha’s husband opened a doctor’s practice and a spa board. However, they also kept their main residence and practice in Nuremberg till 1932, where they lived and practiced on a regular basis in the winter season from November to April. It can be assumed that Martha Münz did her share of the work to be done in the practices of her husband and the spa board attached to them. She died in Bad Kissingen in May 1939. Her gravestone in the Jewish Cemetery of Bad Kissingen bears the inscription: “A woman of kindness and nobility”.

Martha’s husband and her son then moved to Berlin where her younger son Heinrich lived and practiced as a dentist. He succeeded in fleeing to the United States. Martha’s husband Philipp and her older son Alfred, however, were deported from Berlin in 1942. Philipp died in Theresienstadt in 1944 and Alfred was murdered in the same year in Auschwitz/ Oświęcim Extermination Camp.
