From Heinrich Heine: Ludwig Boerne, A Memoir Old Rothschild«, Boerne continued, »the progenitor of the ruling dynasty, was a virtuous man, full of piety and kindheartedness. He had a benevolent face and a goatee, he wore a triangular horned hat on his head, his clothes were modest, even poor. So he walked around, followed by a crowd of poor people, he handed out money and good advice. When you met a group of cheerful beggars on the street, you could be sure that old Rothschild had passed by previously. When I was a small boy and walked through Jews Lane on Friday evenings with my father, we met old Rothschild coming from the synagogue. I remember him talking to me after speaking to my father and laying his hand on my head to bless me. I am absolutely convinced I owe it to Rothschild's blessings that later in my life, though I became a German writer, I never ran out of money completely.
the Frankfurt Jewish Museum tells the history of Jewish families, of the personlities and the houses of the Frankfurt Jews Lane put down in 1880 - in English and German. Jewish Museum Frankfurt am Main top of page << |
