Chlothilde Weinberger was the mother of the twins, Tana and Ruben Weinberger who are also listed in this Memorial Book.

Chlothilde Weinberger was born on 6 July 1909, in Rennerod in Westerwald as the daughter of Meyer and Paula Weinberger née Rosenthal. She had four younger siblings, two sisters, and two brothers. The family lived in Langendernbach in the district of Limburg in their house. She also owned a large garden plot.

Meyer Weinberger was killed in the First World War when his eldest daughter Chlothilde was eight or nine years old. There is little information about Chlothilde's life in the following few years. She was recorded in Langendernbach, probably not learning a profession but rather helping her mother raise her four younger siblings. They fled to England In 1939. Chlothilde stayed with her mother in Langendernbach.

On 15 September 1940, Chlothilde Weinberger was received at the Jewish Women's League home in Neu-Isenburg. On 6  November, 1940 she gave birth to the twins Ruben and Tana in Frankfurt. Chlothilde remained with her children in home "Isenburg” for three months after which she returned to her mother alone. The mother died in May 1942. It is not known whether it was a natural death or suicide in the face of an imminent deportation. A little later, the daughter received the deportation notice.

On 11 June 1942, Chlothilde Weinberger and her twins were deported from Frankfurt. The transport with over 1000 people from Frankfurt, Wiesbaden, and the Wiesbaden district had the ghetto Izbica as the destination. In Lublin, working men were selected for forced labor in the Majdanek concentration camp while the others were taken either to the Izbica ghetto and from there to the Sobibor extermination camp or directly to the extermination camp where they had two hours to live before they were murdered in the gas chambers (Kingreen, Gewaltsam verschleppt, p. 373 f.).

Chlothilde Weinberger was 32 years old at the time of her deportation.

On June 13, 1942 she was murdered in Sobibor extermination camp.
