Most of the non-Jewish inhabitants apparently still had a good relationship with their Jewish fellow citizens, so that in May 1936 the district president of Lower Franconia complained to the Bavarian state government that the inhabitants of Großlangheim were still far from understanding the "Jewish question". A local Jew, a front-line fighter in the First World War, had been buried with military honors at the time. Both Pastor Reitz and teacher Georg Spath fought against National Socialism with the means at their disposal and helped Jewish fellow citizens. They were supported by the majority of Großlangheim residents.
This was also praised by Mr. Schneeberger in his lecture in 2003 when he said: "Großlangheim is one of the few communities in the district that has a good reputation in dealing with its Jewish fellow citizens. Pastor Reitz was even arrested for a few days because of this. He was charged with pulpit abuse by the Nazis. None of the Großlangheim churchgoers testified as witnesses, so the charge had no consequences. In 1942, when the reprisals against the Jews intensified, the people of Großlangheim supported their Jewish neighbors and friends with food, among other things.
The Fromm family from Großlangheim is one of the best-known Jewish families in the Kitzingen region. The important philosopher and psychotherapist Erich Fromm belongs to this family, as does the wine merchant dynasty that later settled in Kitzingen and Bingen am Rhein, which was founded in Großlangheim with Nathan Fromm at the end of the 19th century.
Max Fromm, Nathan's son, who moved the wine shop to Kitzingen, where it became one of the largest wine shops in Germany.
Nathan Fromm, wine wholesaler, is the grandfather of Bella Fromm, journalist and author.
