Hans Weinmann was the middle of three sons of Eduard Jakob Weinmann, the patriarch of one of the richest business families in Austria-Hungary, who himself was born into a poor family in Dobrá u Kladna. He moved into this villa with his wife Stella, sons Karl, Heinrich and Ralph and daughter Liselotte in December 1930.
After the occupation of the borderlands, he managed to hide part of the family's fortune in neutral foreign countries, for which he was arrested, shortly after the establishment of the Protectorate, in Prague. He managed to leave the prison and illegally cross the border, which the rest of his family later did as well. He was classified as an enemy of the Reich when the family settled in England, and he appeared on the list of people who were to be arrested immediately after the German invasion of Britain. In 1940, the family emigrated to Canada, from where they moved to the USA, where its members changed their surname to Wyman.
