"Never forget him!" his wife called out to the mourners at Marum's funeral in 1934. 3,000 residents of Karlsruhe paid their last respects to the deceased, even though the Nazis had forbidden the announcement of his burial date. Tens of thousands had mocked Ludwig Marum and seven other politicians of Baden a year earlier during the "parade" through Karlsruhe, leading the "protective detainees" to the newly built KZ Kislau.

The combative lawyer and politician, who had early on opposed the rising fascism, was targeted from the start by the NSDAP as a Jew and Social Democrat. His letters from the concentration camp depict him as a caring father and loving husband, but also as a man who firmly believes in justice.

The Man of Law: Ludwig Marum is a piece of local history with regional significance, which Hajo Kurzenberger brings to life on stage through historical documents.
