Shtadlan — “Jizchak” [sacral name], “Itsek ha-Shtadlan ha-Gadol b’’ ha-Chaver Nosen Oppenhaim…”
“Bankier, Armeelieferant, Mäzen jud. Wissenschaft und Forderer religiöser Institute”
®36[NB: since his early youth he was stepson of Samson Wertheimer]
aft 1719 he got dragged down in the fall of [his second cousin] Emanuel b’ Samuel Oppenheimer [son of the Imperial Court-Factor]. He died leaving his widow in complete poverty. He was in 1739 survived by 14 children: “Nathan, Saul (?), Hanna, Hirschl, Marcus, Edel, Sarah, Lazarus, Michel, Veronika/Fromet, Gütel, Conna, Jüttel und Lea — the first seven were married, the next four were of age, the last three were still under age” [cf
®33, p 260]
amongst these children:
# Nathan b’ Isaak Oppenheim (d. 1.6.1767) >>
# Hanna/Channe b’ Itsek Oppenheim (d. 31.12.1777) >>
# Hirsh/Herschel b’ Isaak Oppenheim (d. 12.7.1758) >>
# Edel b’ Isaak Oppenheim (d. 14.4.1783) >>
# Sarah b’ Isaac Oppenheim (d. 17.7.1773) >>
# Gitle/Gütel b’ Isaak Oppenheim (d. 2.2.1758) >>
and questionable:
# Sarel/Sorl b’ Isaak Oppenheim (18.9.1746) >>
# Ester b’ Isaak Oppenheim (d. 18.7.1739) >>
NB: the names of Sarel and Ester are not mentioned in the enumeration above [ ®33, p 260].
There may be confusion with possible children of an other Isaak (d. bef 1740), son of the scarcely mentioned Nathan b’ Samuel Oppenheimer [cf], who died in 1730 — In the case of Ester it seems quite plausible that this other Isaak b’ Nathan is her father. So I’ve changed the link towards him. — In the case of Sarel may be doubt because it looks like she has a namesake (Sarah) in the enumeration of the 14 children, which is very unusual. In ET the [for Frankfurt yiddish] unfamiliar spelling of her name is considered a Viennese variant. Furthermore, in my opinion, it may well be that Sarel is the same as Saul (?), the second child of the enumeration [NB: indicated there with a question mark] and that her name is not at all a variant of ‘Sara’. So I’m staying with the link to Isaak b’ Nathan b’ Daniel-Jechiel Oppenheimer as her father.
