Pauline Küchler née Porges
Sub-clan BW  

 

What is a Sub-clan?

 

Sub-clan BW — matriarchal anchor: Pauline Küchler née Porges (d. Zebuš Sunday 29 November 1896 at 2 a.m., of cardiac arrest after several days of bedridden illness, "in the twelfth month of her happy marriage").

Funeral Tuesday 1 December 1896 at 1 p.m. from the house of mourning to the Israelite Cemetery at Rabaun. (Day-of-week check: 29 November 1896 = Sunday ✓; 1 December 1896 = Tuesday ✓.)

Pauline's death in the twelfth month of her happy marriage with a "little son" (Söhnchen Ernst) makes this one of the most poignant obituaries of the corpus — a young Porges-born woman dead in early motherhood, likely of complications from a recent childbirth, with her infant son surviving.

Family — full Porges sibship roster

Husband: David Küchler (alive 1896).

Parents-in-law: Moses Küchler, Marie Küchler (alive 1896).

Little son: Ernst Küchler — infant, born ca. early 1896, losing his mother before age 1.

Mother (Pauline's, Porges family): Rosa Porges (alive 1896, surviving her daughter — generational inversion).

Pauline's siblings (Porges sibship):

Heinrich Porges

Josef Porges

Marie Holzer née Porges — married a Holzer

Eduard Porges

Regine Fürth née Porges — married a Fürth

Gustav Porges

Julie Porges

This is a seven-sibling Porges sibship — Pauline plus 7 named siblings — making it one of the largest documented Porges sibships of the 1860s-1880s cohort. Mother Rosa Porges is the parental anchor; the father (presumably also Porges) had predeceased.

Cross-corpus implications

Several names recur with other documented Porges branches: Heinrich Porges, Eduard Porges, Gustav Porges — and the in-law surnames Holzer and Fürth. Cross-corpus integration possibilities:

  • Regine Fürth née Porges + Sub-clan B's Auguste Fürth née Porges (daughter of Amalia Bondy 1912) — possible cousin-Fürth in-law network
  • Heinrich Porges, Eduard Porges — multiple namesakes documented elsewhere; cross-reference required

Holocaust trajectory

Pauline's infant son Ernst Küchler (b. ca. early 1896) would have been ~42 years old in 1938 — peak deportation age. Search holocaust.cz for Ernst Küchler / Kichler Bohemian-resident transports. Her seven Porges siblings' descendants (b. ca. 1885-1910) form a substantial extended-family deportation search target.
