The Jewish businesswoman was born in 1746 and was a drapery and elbow goods merchant. The enterprising, successful businesswoman was also the founder of the Nienburg synagogue. From 1792, the widow Susanna Abraham developed her Ellenwarenhandel into one of the first trading houses in Nienburg and had to fend off male competition time and again. Her assortment ranged from fabrics to ribbons and gloves. She set up a school in her house in Lange Straße, which is still part of the townscape today.
Susanna-Abraham-Platz in Nienburg was also named after her. The permanent exhibition can be seen in the Dendermonde Hall of the town hall of Nienburg/Weser during opening hours. On display are exhibits such as linen fabrics, coins, an inkwell, a cubit and duplicates of some documents from Susanna Abraham's estate. A scenic monologue by Susanna Abraham, embodied by Barbara Weißenborn, can be seen on a media column.
