Die Rothschilds Portrait Einer Familie.Pdf Über dieses Buch Die Rothschilds – nicht umsonst ist dieser Name zum Begriff geworden, nicht umsonst strahlt er nach wie vor seine alte Faszination aus. Denn es gibt in der Historie der letzten zwei Jahrhunderte wohl keine Familie, die so wie diese immer wieder im Brennpunkt des europäischen Geschehens gestanden hat, und keine, die so viele profilierte Köpfe aufweisen kann: Bankiers von weltweitem Einfluss, Vertraute gekrönter Häupter, Freun- de und Helfer grosser Staatsmänner, Mäzene und Sammler, Philanthro- pen und Politiker, Künstler und Forscher. Frederic Morton erzählt auf Grund authentischen Materials die Ge- schichte der «Dynastie Rothschild» von ihren Anfängen mit Mayer Am- schel Rothschild, Altwarenhändler und Münzsammler im Frankfurt des jungen Goethe, bis zur siebenten Generation heute. Eine ausführliche Ahnentafel dokumentiert diesen einzigartigen Aufstieg der Rothschilds aus der Frankfurter Judengasse zu sprichwörtlichem Reichtum, zu Macht, Einfluss und Ruhm. Wenn das Buch fast unmittelbar nach Erscheinen in USA ebenso wie in Deutschland zu einem aussergewöhnlichen Erfolg wurde, so ist das kein Wunder, denn Frederic Morton ist eine denkbar glückliche Vereinigung von fesselnder historischer Darstellung und reizvoller Schilderung des Menschlichen gelungen: ein grossartiges Porträt einer Familie ohneglei- chen. 3 März 1965 Vollständige Taschenbuchausgabe mit 52 Abbildungen Ins Deut- sche übertragen von Dr. Hans Lamm © Frederic Morton 1961 © der Originalausgabe «The Rothschilds» by The Curtis Publishing Co. © der deutschen Ausgabe Droemersche Verlagsanstalt Th.

The research process has revealed that, within seemingly disparate texts, Welsh space appears to be more important than Welsh people, and Wales’s physical presence more prominent than its language, history and culture. There is also duality of place and space in these Welsh settings. Wales as a named, known, bordered entity is superficially present, but through this the protagonists gain access to very different, even otherworldly, surroundings.

  • Jewish Hospitals in Frankfurt Am Main (1829 – 1942)
    Jewish Hospitals in Frankfurt am Main (1829 – 1942) For the care of the patients, for the edification of the parish, for the good of the city of our fathers” The opening of Frankfurt´s Jewish Ghetto (1462 – 1796) and the granting of the long sought-for status as citizens (“isaelitische Bürger”) on 1st September 1824 (Heuberger/Krohn 1988, page 37) created the framework for the resolution of the cramped and outdated hospital system of the Ghetto time. Finally Frankfurt´s two Jewish communities – the Jewish community with a liberal majority and the smaller conservative Jewish religious community – could then establish a modern medical and care system. Both Jewish-religious (with their own synagogues and kosher cooking) and inter- denominational oriented hospitals and nursing homes emerged; even the conservative-Jewish institutions admitted non-Jews in accordance with the Bikkur-Cholim-provisions. As early as 1829, a few decades prior to the establishment of equality of Frankfurt´s Jewish population on 8th October, 1864, the “Hospital of the Jewish Health Insurances ” opened its doors at Rechneigrabenstrasse 28 – 20 (next to the “Neuer Börneplatz” memorial). The Rothschild banker family had the double building erected: “The barons Amschel, Salomon, Nathan, Carl, Jacob von Rothschild put up this house in accordance with the wishes of their immortalized father [Mayer Amschel Rothschild, d.V.); “for the care of the patients, for the edification of the parish, for the good of the city of our fathers”; a monument of filial reverence and fraternal unity” (quotation by Arnsberg 1983, book volume 2, page 123). The hospital emerged from the two Jewish insurance companies for men (established in 1738 and 1758) and the Jewish health insurance for women (established in 1761) of Frankfurt´s Jewish Ghetto.
