 | | Carl Laemmle (January 17, 1867, Laupheim, Württemberg, Germany – September 24, 1939, Beverly Hills, California) was a pioneer in American film making and a founder of one of the original major Hollywood movie studios. |
 | | Laemmle was born in the Radstrasse in Laupheim, in the Jewish quarter of the city. |
 | | Laemmle remained connected to his home town of Laupheim throughout his life, through financial support, and also by sponsoring hundreds of Jews from Laupheim and Württemberg as a whole to emigrate from National Socialist Germany to the United States (which meant paying both emigration and immigration fees), thus saving them from the Holocaust. |
