Notes - “Information given to me by Mr. Grammann from the Memorbuches, which goes back to l826 states:-
Cause of death - Not Heart
Wonder what he did die of?”
Moved to Schluchtern in 1779
AKA Ruben
Adopted name Rothschild around 1812 in compliance with German law requiring all Jewish families to have last names
Paid 16 Gulden for "protection of the soverign" on 18 Jan 1779 in order to get married.
“According to the records kept by the synagogue (called the Memorbook) His father had behind his name the abbreviation ‘R. Schl. D’, which means ‘Rabbi Scholiach Darshan’ - Darshan being a man who taught and explained the holy scriptures. Therefore, in 1811 he called himself ‘Rothschild’ “
“Victor Reis notes that Kalman Loeb moved to Schluchtern "with his father" in 1776... though no other evidence of that... it appears that Kalman Loeb may have moved to Schluchtern in 1776 after the death of his mother, considering that his sister was there and married to Aron Loeb Oppenheimer.
Also, of note, the Rothschild name... origin story varies... in 1811 Kalman Loeb purportedly takes the name Rothschild based on his father being recorded in the synagogue memorbook as: Yehuda Loeb ben Naftali Kalman R"Schl'D R"Schl'D is the abbreviation for Rabbi Scholiach Darshan (Source notes of Victor Reis).
It is worth noting that many Jews during the late 1700s were "Germanizing" their names.
Names based on the sons of Jacob used German names based on their associated animal in Genesis 49, in our family: Yehuda the Lion: Loeb/Loew Naftali the Deer: Hertz/Hirsch (more: http://bloodandfrogs.com/2011/05/animals-and-name-pairs-in-jewish-given.html) I am not sure if there is significance about ending in the hard consonant (b/z) versus soft consonant (w/sch)” [1, 2, 3, 5, 6]
