Better known as Richard Böhme, Richard was born January 14, 1899 in Berlin, Germany.
Siblings:
- Alfred Böhme
- Hedwig Böhme

April 1916 just two weeks after Richard turned only 17, he was drafted by the Kaiser WW1. The tale is that my family was either told he was dead or they thought he was dead and years later he showed up. I found this out because my dad being the youngest ( almost 17 years younger ) of all the siblings.
He worked as a Manager of a Moving company. This is the only address I could find so far while researching, so I am a little unsure, but to see whats out there, Spedition Moebeltransport Roll- u. Arbeitsfuhrw., N39 Schulzendorfer Strasse 7
One of the famous stories in the family is that my grandfather transported ( did not build ) but delivered a famous study desk to Hitler, wich is now displayed in the Hitler Museum I think it is called in Berlin, Geramany. The first picture is the actual desk in the museum. I found this one online, we went there for a visit this year ( 2013) and I did not happen to have my camera to take a picture, but that will have to wait for another time.
He married Erna Martha Hedwig Hohenhaus in Friedrichshain, Germany on November 7, 1921.
In 1939 they moved to Lankwitz area of Berlin on the Derflinger Strasse or Street
I dont know when they moved to the Sodener Strasse in Berlin but I found it on record in the 1970s
SodenerStrasse 33
They had three children :
- Gerda Böhme
- Erika Hertha Böhme
- Dietmar Wolfgang Gerhard Böhme
I found on record in 1925 that he became a Prokurist…with research and asking people… what I found a Prokurist does mean… that this title ( Prokurist ) means he had the right to sign for contracts and purchasing just like the Geschäftsführer. Usually they were head of a department for sales or accounting and prokura is issued to a colleague via notary official paper. The person has to sign with ppa. in front of name when signing for company contracts etc. Prokura will hold up in court and is only given to a person the Geschäftsführung trusts to act in companies interest and can sign binding documents without the top…or….you can call him a Merchant which can have the Power of a Vice-CEO.For Example if the Company needs right now 2Tons of Steel it can be his Duty to get it, what he did in his field I am not quite sure yet.
He died on February 5, 1986, in Wilmersdorf, Germany, at the age of 87.
