Reichenberg


In the probate records of the estate of J. B. Friedman, Bertha's surname is spelled RIECHENBERG.  In the record of her marriage to J. B. Friedman, her surname is spelled REICHBERG.  In the record of her m. to H. G. Marrs, it is spelled RICHENBERG.  Her tombstone says RICHENBERG.  I have adopted the spelling REICHENBERG for this work, as it is the spelling I find other researchers are using, both in the USA and in Germany.

Much of the following was compiled by Lila Jane Miller in the USA and Gabriele Hannah in Germany, with additions by me.  Much information on the branches of the family who remain in Germany has been contributed by Barry List.  The Seelbinder family (see #11) has been extensively documented by John Paul Helms on ancestry.com.  Patty Magid-Volk has also made significant recent contributions.  Their efforts are acknowledged and their willingness to share is greatly appreciated.

Solomon+Amalie_Reis_Reichenberg.jpg

1.   Solomon (Salaman) REICHENBERG, b. 2/10/1813 in Marköbel, Germany, possibly of French descent, d. 2/10/1885 in Marköbel (son of ______ REICHENBERG, b. c. 1783, and Malchen (Made) REISS, b. c. 1783); m. est. 1842 Amelia (Amalie, Malche) REIS, b. c. 1824 in Marköbel, d. 7/30/1889 in Marköbel1 (dau. of Joseph Löb REIS and Rochel ______).  They never migrated to the USA.  All of their children migrated, one or two at a time, except Emanuel, Jonas, Yosel Löb, Hannah (who died young), and Rebecca.  The relationship between Made Reiss and Amelia Reis, if any, is unknown.  Solomon's death record lists his father as "Jude Reigenberg", but that merely means "Jew Reigenberg".

     1.   Amalie (Anna?, Amelia, M.) REICHENBERG, b. c. 1843 in Marköbel, Germany, d. 10/8/1882, bur. in New Orleans; m. 1/12/1873 in New Orleans Samson STARK, b. c. 1832 in Germany, d. 5/29/1898 in New Orleans.  She immigrated 6/1/1867 from Bremen, Germany via Le Havre, France on ship Cimbria, ar. 6/13/1867 in New York.  He immigrated in 1853 and was naturalized 10/8/1862 in New Orleans.  Some researchers show her d. in Germany in 1901, but this seems highly improbable.
For another Amalie REICHENBERG, who m. Marx KAUFMAN, see #2.1 near the end of this listing.

     .    1.   Jennie STARK, b. 12/3/1873 in New Orleans, d. 2/3/1945 in New Orleans; m. 8/4/1898 in New Orleans Julius LOEB, b. 3/24/1871, d. 6/17/1956; 5 children.

     .    2.   William (Wolf) STARK, b. 3/5/1875 in New Orleans.

     .    3.   Amelia STARK, b. 9/22/1876 in New Orleans.  In 1900, she was single, living with her sister and brother-in-law Jennie and Julius LOEB in New Orleans.  She m. 11/6/1912 Samuel SEELMAN, b. c. 1863 in Hungary, d. before 1950 census; he was a streetcar conductor for NOPSI.

     .    4.   Bertha STARK, b. 2/3/1879 in New Orleans, d. 1/7/1954 in St. Paul, MN; m. c. 1900 August Daniel BORGSTEDE (BURGSTADT), b. 11/15/1878 in New Orleans, d. 5/28/1923 in Chicago, IL.  She eventually simplified her married surname to TEDE.

     .    5.   Julius STARK, b. 11/10/1880 in New Orleans, probably d. before 1900 census.

     2.   Julius (Juda) REICHENBERG, b. c. 1848 in Marköbel, d. 9/28/1867 in New Orleans, LA of yellow fever.  He left Hamburg, Germany 10/24/1866 on ship Saxonia for New York.  We do not know how or when he moved from New York to New Orleans.  It is not proven that he was a child of Solomon Reichenberg and Amalie Reis, nor that the Juda who emigrated to New York and the Julius who d. of yellow fever in New Orleans were the same person.

     3.   Yosel Löb (Joseph Leopold) REICHENBERG, b. c. 1849 in Marköbel, Germany, d. 11/17/1917 in Ostheim, Germany; m. 17 Nov 1874 in Marköbel Bertha (Brief) LÖWENSTEIN, b. 10/12/1845 in Diemenrode, Germany, d. 8/4/1928 in Schlitz, Germany.

     .    0.   Rosalie REICHENBERG, b. 11/28/1874 in Marköbel, d. 2/5/1875 in Marköbel.

     .    1.   Julius REICHENBERG, b. 11/29/1875 in Ostheim, Germany, d. c. 1939 in Lodz ghetto; m. 6/8/1905 in Frankfurt am Main, Germany Johanna HIRSCHMANN, b. 9/6/1881 in Grosskrotzenburg, Germany, d. c. 1939 in Lodz ghetto; four daughters.

     .    2.   Kathinka (Kadinge) REICHENBERG, b. 4/16/1877 in Ostheim, Germany, d. 5/22/1950 in Nashville, TN; m. 5/8/1902 in Ostheim Raphael (Ralph) GREIF, b. 10/15/1872 in Langenschwarz, Germany, d. 3/25/1947 in Nashville; two daughters.

     4.  Emanuel (Menachem) REICHENBERG, 4. b. 4/2/1850, d. before 1930.  He was married twice to women named Bertha (Berta), which has made it difficult to deduce which wife was the mother of which children. He m. (1) before 1875 Berta HARRIS (HARITZ), probably d. before 1880.  He m. (2) probably before 1880 (registered 12/22/1884 in Niederrad-und-Oberrad, Hesse, Germany) Bertha Adelheide NASSAUER (NAUSAUER), b. 9/8/1856 in Germany, d. before 1885 in Germany.  Some researchers report a third wife, Bertha ROBACHEK, as the mother of some of the children, but this is refuted by the birth record of the last child, Amalie, which clearly lists her mother as Bertha Nassauer.

     .    1.   Mathilda REICHENBERG, b. 11/17/1875 in Marköbel, Germany, d. 6/29/1947 in Frankfurt am Main; m. 10/19/1907 in Frankfurt am Main Giovanni ROGGIA, b. 3/1/1883, d. before 6/29/1947.

Two Amalie REICHENBERGs are known in Marköbel, Germany.  One was dau. of Solomon REICHENBERG and Amalie REIS, and is listed above (#1.1).  Both are believed to be related to Rachel Reichenberg Kamien (#1.5 above) and Sophie Reichenberg Seelbinder (#1.9 above).  Since the two Amalie Reichenbergs were b. in the same town, but about 16 years apart, one might conjecture that one, perhaps the older, was a cousin rather than a sister to the other Reichenbergs listed above.  So she is listed here.

     1.   Amalia (Malche, Martha) REICHENBERG, b. 9/18/1826 in Marköbel, Germany, d. 12/3/1887 in New Orleans. LA; m. c. 1853, his 2nd m., Marx (Max, Marks) KAUFMAN (KAUFMANN), b. 2/1816 in Gommersheim, Germany, d. 11/1/1899 in New Orleans.  He m. (1) before 1843 in Germany Caroline ROSENFELD, b. c. 1815 in Germany, d. 9/26/1852 in New Orleans.  Marx and Caroline emigrated to the USA c. 1849 with their children, and had one more child, before Caroline d. in 1852.  Marx was naturalized 10/28/1864 in New Orleans.

     1a. Children of Marx and Caroline:

     .    1.   Emily KAUFMAN, b. 5/11/1842 in Gommersheim, Germany, d. 1/20/1919 in St Louis, MO; m. 1861 Calman "Cal" R. HIRSCH, Sr., b. 2/23/1835 in Alsace, France, d. 1/10/1906.  Cal was naturalized 6/12/1855.

     .    2.   Louis KAUFMAN, b. 11/8/1843 in Germany, d. 12/21/1912 in New Orleans; m. 7/17/1872 in New Orleans Isabella "Bella" TURK, b. 2/15/1848 in New Orleans, d. 10/4/1918 in New Orleans (dau. of Joseph TURK, b. 5/15/1829, d. 7/5/1882 in New Orleans, and Suzanne LIPPMANN, b. 12/24/1824 in Prussia, d. 1/4/1909 in New Orleans; sister of Josephine TURK, see #2.1a.5 below).  Louis was naturalized 10/16/1874 in New Orleans.

     .    3.   Abraham KAUFMAN, b. c. 1846 in Speyer, Germany, d. 3/3/1847 in Speyer.

     .    4.   David KAUFMAN, b. 7/23/1848 in Speyer, d. 1/29/1919 in St. Louis.  Never m.  Naturalized 10/20/1874 in New Orleans.

     .    5.   Gabriel "Gabe" KAUFMAN, b. 2/12/1852 in LA, d. 8/3/1910 in Chicago; m. 10/3/1882 in New Orleans Josephine TURK, b. 8/9/1855 in New Orleans, d. 4/27/1932 in Chicago (dau. of Joseph TURK, b. 5/15/1829, d. 7/5/1882 in New Orleans, and Suzanne LIPPMANN, b. 12/24/1824 in Prussia, d. 1/4/1909 in New Orleans; sister of Isabella TURK, see #2.1a.2 above).

     1b. Children of Marx and Amalia:

     .    1.   Julius KAUFMAN, b. 9/20/1854 in New Orleans, d. 7/8/1912 in Asheville, NC, bur. in Jacksonville, FL; m. 5/21/1878 in New Orleans Leah REINACH, b. 8/1/1857 in Memphis, TN, d. 3/15/1927 in Hamilton County, Ohio.  They moved from New Orleans to Jacksonville in 1888.

     .    2.   Emanuel KAUFMAN, b. 8/22/1856 in New Orleans, d. 10/22/1915 in New Orleans; m. 4/16/1902 in New Orleans Juliette STERN, b. 8/29/1871 in New Orleans, d. 7/6/1950 in New Orleans.

     .    3.   Samuel (Solomon) KAUFMAN, b. 10/3/1858 in New Orleans, d. 6/8/1882 in New Orleans, probably unmarried.  We have a birth record for Solomon Kaufman, naming his parents.  All the rest of the records attributed to him are for Samuel Kaufman.  There was also another Solomon Kaufman in New Orleans, a Russian emigre, b. 1858, ar. in USA 7/13/1882 in Philadelpha from Liverpool, England, who may have been confused with this person.  The tombstone of Samuel Kaufman gives his birth date as 9/29/1858, but this must be in error.   Even if Samuel and Solomon were brothers, perhaps twins (which seems unlikely, since we have a birth record for one and not for the other), the two listed birth dates cannot both be correct.  The 1870 census for the family lists Samuel, but not Solomon.  The 1880 census lists bachelors Samuel, Emanuel, and their older half-brother David sharing a home.

     .    4.   Joseph (Jehoshua) KAUFMAN, b. 9/27/1860 in New Orleans, d. 9/27/1866 in New Orleans.

     .    5.   Gerson KAUFMAN, b. 10/22/1862 in New Orleans (twin to Matilda), d. 5/11/1864 in New Orleans.

     .    6.   Matilda (Tillie) KAUFMAN, b. 10/22/1862 in New Orleans (twin to Gerson), d. 8/27/1942; m. 1/11/1882 in New Orleans Judah SEIDENBACH, b. c. 1850 in Ohio, d. before 1892.  They had a home in 1892 at 471 St. Charles Ave. in New Orleans.  By 1906, she was living at 6020 St. Charles Ave.  3 children.
