Initial persecutions

Initially the everyday life of Chinese people in Germany was unaffected by the Nazi government and Adolf Hitler praised Chinese culture and considered Chinese people to be “Honorary Aryans”.[2]

Later, Chinese people in Germany, some of whom adhered to a right-wing ideology, were targeted for persecution or ethnic cleansing by the Nazi government. Although most of them were not politically active, the government conducted surveillance on them. Under these circumstances, life became increasingly difficult for Chinese civilians in Germany. Beginning in 1936, Gestapo, local police and custom officers enforced unethical regulations in Hamburg's Chinatown. On January 25, 1938, the Center for Chinese (Zentralstelle für Chinese) was founded under the control of Reinhard Heydrich, which was dedicated to controlling the size of the Chinese population.[3]

Most members of Germany's Chinese population chose to return to mainland China, but some of them chose to fight in the Spanish Civil War. According to a report composed by the Overseas Community Affairs Council, the Chinese population in Germany was reduced to 1938 before the beginning of the Second World War.[1]

During the war

After the Chinese government declared war on Nazi Germany following the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941, the Gestapo launched mass arrests of Chinese Germans and Chinese nationals across Germany,[4] concentrating them in the Arbeitserziehungslager Langer Morgen ("Langer Morgen Labor Camp") in Wilhelmsburg, Hamburg, and used them as slave laborers; many were tortured, bullied, assaulted, or worked to death by the Gestapo.[5]

The transcript from the written contents from the billboard :

In the early 1920s Chinese sailors took up abode in St. Pauli's Schmuckstraße and the adjacent streets. They opened restaurants, shops and laundries that were attached to the maritime world. The locals labelled it the "Chinese quarter", although only a few hundred Chinese people lived here.

When the Nazis took over in 1933, the Chinese residents of St. Pauli were at first not directly affected. However, when the foreign exchange regulations were toughened in 1936 and following the declaration of war by the Chinese Republic on 9 December 1941, the Chinese population was increasingly persecuted. On 13 May 1944, the Gestapo, under the direction of Erich Hanisch, arrested 129 Chinese nationals as part of the "Chinese Action". They were imprisoned and physically abused for months in the Gestapo prison in Fuhlsbuttel and later in the "Work Education Camp Wilhelmsburg". At least 17 Chinese citizens were killed as direct result of the torture methods employed by the Gestapo and the exhaustive forced labour in Wilhelmsburg. The National Socialist were thus able to erase the "Chinese quarter" from the map.

In front of the building in Schmuckstraße 9, a so-called, "Stolperstein" (stumbling stone) commemorates Woo Lie Kien, the proprietor of a restaurant in the building who died in November 1944 due to the injuries he sustained at the hands of the Gestapo.
