In 1929, she married Julius Sichel, a Jewish merchant from Gaukönigshofen (Ochsenfurt district).

Shortly after their marriage, they moved to Munich.
On February 14, 1932, Beatrix Sichel, future Eisemann, was born. She was the only child of Gertrude and Julius Sichel.
The young family stayed in Germany for a very long time. Salomon Grünhut, Trude's father, lived with them as early as 1933/34 after the experiences of the SA terror in Lichtenfels (including arbitrary "protective custody" in 1933). In 1937 he moved completely to Munich. But at the latest after the experiences in the November pogroms in 1938 and the weeks-long internment of the men in the Dachau concentration camp, the family finally saw no future in Germany and decided to flee the country before it was too late.
