Transcription / Translation Request for 1882 Hamburg Death
Could someone transcribe this extract from an 1882 Hamburg death record into German and translate to English please?
The death is Markus Roze and his wife’s name is Maria Dorothea Margaretha Elisabeth Ullrich.
I am particularly interested in getting the exact address in Hamburg, and if possible a description of that location - was it an apartment in a building, or could it have been a courtyard residence out behind a building? What does the word between “Poolstraße” and “9” mean? And the word between “9” and “38”?
Just this morning I stumbled across something that I found very interesting regarding this address on the death record, Poolstraße 9, where Markus and his wife were apparently living. I google mapped this Hamburg address Poolstraße 9 and found that it is only metres from Poolstraße 12 (https://goo.gl/maps/8XfwRZX4HFgmpZgy5) which happens to be the Ruine der jüdischen Synagoge "Neuer Tempel" (Ruins of the Jewish synagogue "New Temple”) (https://goo.gl/maps/jx8enfytYe2JKiq7A). You can click the picture top left to see pictures of the ruins.
If the Poolstraße 9 address I found on google maps is correct, could I infer that Markus may have been living there because of its proximity to the temple? And further, could I infer the possibility that he had some Jewish connection, even perhaps was Jewish? (This may be irrelevant but his grandfather’s name was Samuel Peters, and his father’s name was Peter Samuels. They originally came from Groningen, Netherlands). Just a wild guess. But I’d be keen to hear any comments. @Ulrich Neitzel ?

Hello Ian,
Transcription of the (incomplete) death record:
Vor dem unterzeichneten Standesbeamten erschien heute, der Persönlichkeit nach durch Trauschein anerkannt, Maria Dorothea Margaretha Elisabeth Roze, geborene Ullrich, wohnhaft zu Hamburg, Poolstraße Hof 9 Sahl 38, und zeigte an, daß ihr Ehemann, der Maler Markus Roze, 46 Jahre 6 Monate alt, lutherischer Religion, wohnhaft zu Hamburg, Poolstraße Hof 9, Sahl 38, geboren zu Stapelmoor in Ostfriesland, zuletzt verheirathet mit der Anzeigenden, ...
Translation:
Before the undersigned registrar appeared today Maria Dorothea Margaretha Elisabeth Roze, née Ullrich, residing at Hamburg, Poolstrasse yard 9, room 38, recognized by her marriage certificate, and stated that her husband, the painter Markus Roze, 46 years 6 months old, of the Lutheran religion, residing at Poolstrasse yard 9, room 38, Hamburg, born at Stapelmoor in East Frisia, last married to the applicant, ...
Comments:
The address "Poolstraße Hof 9 Sahl 38" is not fully clear to me. It sounds like it is a room in a backyard building. I saw similar addresses in old Hamburg address books.
Poolstraße is in the district of Hamburg-Neustadt, a quarter where in the 19th century mainly people with low to middle income lived. There was also a high percentage of jewish population in this area, but it was not an exclusively jewish ghetto. So you can't infer a jewish connection from this address alone. Markus Roze and his parents were baptized and married in a protestant/reformed church as I understand.

Thank you again very much for you help and comments.
A question for you regarding his religious affiliation ... Would it have been possible for someone to have a Jewish background (or even bi-cultural German-Jewish) and maintain that background while at the same time be a member of the protestant/reformed church? I'm ignorant of these things I'm afraid.
The way you described their residence is just how I imagined it would be. The relevant google map says their residence was 23 metres from the synagogue (deadly accurate!). If that were even partially true, then perhaps they could have been living in building similar to the ones in this picture which are in front of synagogue?

Hello Ian,
There were always some Jewish people who converted to Christianity, but as long as you don't have some proof (i.e. documents) that some of your ancestors previously belonged to the Jewish community I would not assume that.
