Erich Holländer was a cousin of Edith Frank – Holländer.[1] The Aachen Standesamt declared on 19 May 1934 that Erich Holländer and Ilse Grünberg intended to marry.[2] The groom lived in Vaals and the bride in Aachen.[3]

The predecessor of his company supplied mining equipment in Aachen from 1900. In 1937, he started in Limburg with the company N.V. IJzerwerk in Spekholzerheide near Heerlen.[2]

In August 1942, the Holländer couple was called up for labour. They managed to escape by going into hiding.[4]

In autumn 1944, the south of the Netherlands was liberated. The whole IJzerwerk company was gone, but Erich Holländer rebuilt everything "from the ground up".[5] In 1948 he obtained Dutch nationality.[6]

His company manufactured, among other things, packing irons and struts for the mining industry. It advertised with these in various magazines.[7] In 1967, mining company N.V. Laura en Vereeniging entered into a partnership with IJzerwerk. The company then had two hundred employees. Erich Holländer remained a director.[8]
