Baden-Wuerttemberg awarded Siegfried Schwarzschild's heirs DM 4,784 for lost occupational advancement and Josephine Stone DM 4,800 for deprivation of his liberty. As his widow, Josephine also received DM 26,791 in death-related arrears and capital compensation plus a monthly pension initially set at DM 207; the pension was repeatedly adjusted until her death in 1980.

Evidence

The signed decisions and payment records in S-025 directly record the awards. Images 0089-0091 award DM 4,784 for 65 months of occupational loss from 1 January 1939 through the statutory death date. Images 0103-0105 award DM 4,800 for 32 full months of Jewish-star restriction and imprisonment from 19 September 1941 through 31 May 1944. Images 0172-0176 award a DM 14,760 capital payment, DM 12,031 pension arrears, and DM 207 monthly from October 1958. Later images document periodic statutory recalculations and closure after Josephine's 13 July 1980 death.

What remains uncertain

These are statutory compensation calculations, not a complete measure of the human or economic loss. Higher occupational classification was denied because annual pre-persecution income of RM 7,200 could not be proved. The liberty award used the assigned death date, and amounts in later pension decisions varied with statutory amendments, exchange rates, and income offsets.
