Lina Weil was born in Bad Kissingen on July 13, 1880 as the second of eight children of the merchant Hermann Weil and his wife Klara, née Berg. Her father came from Aufhausen in Wuerttemberg which is a suburb of Bopfingen nowadays. At least at the end of the 1870s Hermann Weil moved to Bad Kissingen where he married Klara Berg, who was born there, and had eight children with her. The family lived in Weidgasse 10. In 1890, Lina’s father was given citizens’ rights by Bad Kissingen Magistrate.

At the beginning of 1905, the family moved to Frankfort/ Main where Lina’s father opened a food store in Rechneigrabenstrasse. In the middle of the 1920s, Lina ran a grocery shop together with her sister Hermine. According to the census list of May 1939, Lina Weil lived in Hölderlinstrasse 4 in Frankfort at that time (Information obtained from: Sigrid Kämpfer, Municipal Archive of Frankfort, mail from March 12, 2020). Nothing is known about her further life.

Lina's siblings Ida (1882 - 1906) Justin (1888 - 1917) and Siegfried (1878 - 1917) had already died at an early age, and her parents - Klara (1852 - 1913) and Hermann (1851 - 1932) - did not live to see the Nazi terror. Her brother Max (1887-1942), on the other hand, was deported to Mauthausen and murdered in 1942.  Their sister Hermine was also deported from Berlin to Kovno together with her husband Salomon and murdered there.
