Descendants of HIRSCH MOSES from Ropperhausen (Großropperhausen) / Hesse

Compiled by Barbara Greve - 2014

The story of the Jews of Ropperhausen 1 is the story of the Moses family. 2 There had been named different Jews before the first notice of a Moses, but all of them left Ropperhausen after some time.

HIRSCH MOSES (2) was the first one of the family, who was verifiable in a document. In 1709 he was named as Hirsch and in 1713/14 as Hirsch Moses. 3 The last notice implies that he had been son of a Moses. The only MOSES (1) we know about in Ropperhausen was named in a tax-list of 20 July 1675. 4 There it is written that Moses was coming from Vienna, where all Jews had been expelled in 1671. He settled in Ropperhausen since one and a half year under the protection of Rudolf von Gilsa, but he had had no real protection note (Schutzbrief) and did not pay silver-taxes. It seems as if this Moses had been the ancestor of all MOSES of Ropperhausen, for Hirsch Moses was born in 1676, so that he may have been his son. Moses died after 1708.

2 HIRSCH MOSES and his wife had had three sons and one daughter, whose name is unknown. He was no well settled man when he first was named, but in 1731 he was owner of a house and a cow and employed two menials. In 1744 he was named as 68 years old. Hirsch Moses died after 1754 5 and before 1761 6.

3 ISAAC ITZIG HIRSCH was the eldest son of Hirsch Moses (2). He was born about 1708 in Ropperhausen. Isaac Itzig Hirsch married to Neukirchen, where he was named since 1733. His family story will be compiled in a separate tree.

4 MOSES HIRSCH was born in 1712/14 in Ropperhausen as second son of Hirsch Moses (2). In 1744 he asked for a protection note instead of his 68 years old father, who promised to endow him with 600 Reichstalern. But for missing of a permission of the Landlord von Baumbach his application was denied by clerks of the Landgrave of Hesse. Moses Hirsch only was permitted to stay in Ropperhausen and work for his father. 7 Moses Hirsch married before 1754. He already had been 65 years old when he was named in a tax list of 1779. There it is written that formerly he had been a cattle dealer by his own, but now he was too poor to do this job further on. Therefore he fed his family only by intermediating cattle trading. But he still was owner of a house and a small meadow. Moses Hirsch had to deliver each year to the

5 ABRAHAM HIRSCH was son of Hirsch Moses (2). He was born at unknown date (b abt. 1712?) in Ropperhausen. He was named only one time in a document of 1737 as son of Hirsch Moses. 8

7 ISAAK MOSES was the eldest son of Moses Hirsch (4). He was born in 1754 in Ropperhausen. Isaak was named after the brother of his father, for his grandfather Hirsch Moses probably still was alive. In 1779 Isaak Moses was not yet named in a tax list9, for he got his protection note for Ropperhausen only on 01 Jan 1792. 10 Isaak Moses was a cattle dealer like his father. In 1823 he was in common with his brother Hirsch Moses named as owner of a house with some small garden and meadow. In 1792 Isaak Moses married BREINE SALOMON , who was born in 1762. In further documents she was called BREINE LEVI. We don´t know where she came from, but by her name she seem to be a daughter of Salomon Levi. The couple had less six children. 11 Isaac Moses died in Ropperhausen on 04 May 1829, Breine Moses died unknown date.

8 HIRSCH MOSES was son of Moses Hirsch (4). He was born in 1761 in Ropperhausen. He was a cattle dealer and got his protection note for Ropperhausen on 01 Aug 1794. On 13 Nov 1795 he married in Kirchhain SARA BENEDIKT , born in 1777 in Kirchhain as daughter of the butcher Benedikt Löw Oppenheimer and Bette Bela Katz. Hirsch Moses was named in a list of Jews in 1816 and again in 1832, when the Ropperhausen Jews asked for the permission to constitute a Jewish community by their own. At least he was named at the marriage of his son Marum Markus Moses with his niece Berche Moses. Hirsch Moses died on 26 Dec 1843 in Ropperhausen; Sara Moses died in Frielendorf at the age of 78 years on 02 Jan 1855. She was buried on the old Jewish cemetery of Frielendorf, which was transferred in early 20th century. 12

Isaak Moses got his permission note as eldest son, but it is quite unusual, that his brothers got this permission, too. (see below) 11 With regard to the Jewish name tradition there should have been a son called Moses, who may be born before 1795 and perhaps died as a child. Another explication may be that this assumed Moses already had been married like his sister Blümchen, though that he was no longer named in the list of Jews of 1816. 12 The old Jewish cemetery of Frielendorf was founded in the middle of the 19th century. Formerly the Frielendorf Jews were buried on the Jewish cemetery of Ziegenhain-Niedergrenzebach. The old Frielendorf cemetery was destroyed from 1924 on by coal mining. Formerly all bodies and tombstones were transported to the new Frielendorf Jewish cemetery, which was founded in 1923. 2

After 1933 Abraham Moses had to offer his property by compulsory sale. He got a passport, valid for one year, on 28 Mar 1937 for emigration to Palestine. There he was pictured as tall with grey hair and grey eyes. But it seems as if he had been too old and weak for an emigration to Palestine. On 14 Jun 1938 he moved to Rotenburg/Fulda and further on to Frankfurt, where he at least was housed in the hospital of the Frankfurt Jewish community at Gagernstr. 36. At the age of 92 Abraham Moses was deported on 18 Aug 1942 to Theresienstadt Ghetto, where he perished on 27 Aug 1942.

The Jewish weekly Der Israelit wrote on 06 Jan 1929 in celebrating the funeral of Karoline Moses:

Treysa, Bezirk Kassel, 6. Januar (1929). Hier wurde Frau Karoline Moses Witwe unter starker Beteiligung der jüdischen und nichtjüdischen Bevölkerung zur letzten Ruhe gebettet. Die Verstorbene, die eine Mitbegründerin des Israelitischen Frauenvereins war, erfreute sich in allen Kreisen der Bürgerschaft allgemeiner Beliebtheit und Achtung. Auch in Darmstadt, wo sie die letzte Lebenszeit im Hause ihrer jüngsten Tochter verbrachte, hatte sie sich durch ihre geistige Regsamkeit, ihr unerschütterliches Gottvertrauen und ihr freundliches Wesen viele Sympathien erworben, was am deutlichsten durch die innige Teilnahme während ihrer schweren Krankheit und bei ihrem Heimgang ersichtlich wurde. Einem letztwilligen Wunsche entsprechend, war die Verstorbene in der Heimat beigesetzt worden. Am Grabe gab Herr Lehrer Plaut eine Würdigung ihres vornehmen Charakters; er kennzeichnete die bei Juden und Nichtjuden in gleicher Weise beliebte Greisin als eine ' Esches chajil' (wackere Frau) , deren Tugenden vorbildlich wirken mussten. Tiefen Eindruck machten die herzlichen Worte des Herrn Levi Katz, der das innige freundschaftliche Verhältnis zwischen der Verstorbenen und allen Ortseingesessenen rühmte. Ihre Seele sei eingebunden in den Bund des Lebens
