Goldschmidt family

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Goldschmidt family is a prominent family and financial dynasty of German Jewish descent, originally from Frankfurt am Main. With origins tracing back to the 14th century, most members left Frankfurt after the 1614 Fettmilch uprising, and did not return until the 18th century.[1]

The family was particularly entangled with the Bischoffsheim family of Mainz,[2] leading to the conjointly managed Bischoffsheim, Goldschmidt & Cie bank, which was eventually merged into Banque de Crédit et de Dépôt des Pays-Bas in 1863.[3][4]
