Analysis of information sources in references of the Wikipedia article "Carl von Weinberg" in English language version.
This medal was issued in honor of Carl von Weinberg (1861 - 1943) who was an important Jewish industrialist in Germany and was a member of German delegation to the Versailles peace negotiations.
After the Nazis took power in Germany, Carl von Weinberg was persecuted because of his Jewish origin. He was forced to abandon his positions in the economy. Both the school and the Carl-von-Weinberg street were renamed. In 1938 he was forced to sell his home, Villa Waldfried and his art collection for a fraction of their value to the city.
