Emanuel Lasker was chess champion of the world from 1894-1921. He was born in Germany Dec.24,1868 & died in NYC on Jan.13,1941. I'm concerned about his wife,Martha (Bamberger)(Kohn)Lasker. She was born Nov.19,1867 in Berlin. I have no idea when she died or where. One online source lists her as dying in 1939. Lasker's biography says she outlived him. I need her date,yr of death |

I was unsuccessful in discovering her date of death. I'm quite certain that she outlived Emanuel, as she is periodically quoted (only in German sources) as repeating Emanuel's supposed last words-- "König des Schachs..." (trans. "King of chess...") http://www.koenig-plauen.de/Rubriken/Weltmeister/lasker.htm http://www.schachgeschichte.de/chess/champs/lasker.htm I used Google's translation tools to translate the above pages (and the quotes in question): ://www.google.com/language_tools?hl=en |

Good Evening poormattie. It's a great pleasure to meet you. Thank you so very much for taking a look at my question. This particular one proved quite a toughie for the researchers & myself. We are stumped on her date of death. I once upon a time had quite a few questions. At the moment I've only a handful. You are welcome to puruse them. You can probably also still look at my older ones. If you see anything you like, I'm prepared to re-open any of them, if you can find any answers. Feel free to take a look around. Let me know if I can help in any way. bluestreak. |

i found this: See "Lasker Society" at http://www.lasker-gesellschaft.de you could send an email to info@lasker-gesellschaft.de and ask. also: http://www.chess-poster.com/great_players/lasker.htm http://starfireproject.com/chess/lasker.html "In 1911 Lasker married Martha Kohn. They stayed together until Martha's death in 1939." The more I look, the more I occasionally find references to her dying in 1939, except I'm yet to find a date. |

Hello poormattie, May I extend my greetings to you! Thank you so very much for taking a look at one of my questions. I have seen the online reference to the 1939 date. However, we feel it is outweighed by the number of other mentions that she out-lived her husband. Lasker's biographer tells of her being at his bedside when he passed. Also, Gwagner has emailed the Lasker society, as have I, and they told him that they'd get back to him, but didn't. I got no answer at all. But we still try. I am delighted to work with you poormattie! If there is anything at all I can do to help in any way, please don't be too shy. bluestreak |
