Pauline Bergmann lived in Bad Kissingen for only a short time. She came from a widely branched Jewish family who had lived in Völkersleier for generations and made their living as cattle merchants. Pauline was born on December 21, 1887 as the daughter of the tradesman Seligmann Bergmann and his wife Jette, nèe Kahn. Her father traded with cattle on a small scale. Her parents died early, because Pauline’s brother Bernhard lived in a Jewish orphanage in Fürth between 1895 and 1901, in which Pauline also spent a year in 1897 (See H.J. Beck, Bad Kissingen war unsere Heimat!). Later, she lived in Frankfort.

From there she first went to Bad Kissingen in July 1911 and stayed till May 1912, presumably to work in one of the numerous Jewish boardinghouses or hotels or sanatoriums. Afterwards, she went back to Frankfort, returned to Bad Kissingen in June 1935, however, and worked there – perhaps as a cook – in Hotel Ehrenreich. After the spa season had ended, she returned to Frankfort. 

In 1941, Pauline, who remained unmarried all her life, was deported to an unknown place and killed there.
