Another
person of high interest in the Katzenellenbogen Chart is Lazare Isidor. He was
Chief Rabbi of France and was buried at Pere Lachaise Cemetery in Paris. His
impressing grave monument was donated by the Jewry of France. The grave is hard
to find, but it's pretty close to the one of famous 19th century
actress Rachel Felix, and most people know where her grave is. b) Informationen zum Stammbaum

der Familie Weisskopf (pdf-Datei) David
Weisskopf and his son-in-law Marx Michael Kohn were the last Rabbis of the
Wallerstein Rabbinate in Northern Swabia. They developed once again flourishing
activities and even took over the Oettingen Rabbinate when it became vacant
around 1857. But as the rural jewish popoulation declined, the jewish
communities in this part of Bavaria were taken over by the Ichenhausen Rabbinate
after Marx Michael Kohn had died in 1888. In the meantime David Weisskopf''s son
had become a Rabbi for a small orthodox community in Paris and stayed in this
position until he died at high age of one hundred years. His grave at Montmartre
Cemetery is very modest and contains further members of the family, the
headstone inscriptions are nearly illegible. Another interesting aspect of the
Weisskopf Chart is the the fact that Rabbi David Weisskopf's aunt was Rabbi
Moses Wassermann's mother. So these two important Rabbis of Southern Germany
were in fact cousins. The Salamander Story began in 1891, when the jewish leather
merchant Max Levi of Stuttgart founded a Shoe Manufactoring Company in
Kornwestheim (near Stuttgart in Southern Germany), together with the christian
master shoe maker Jakob Sigle. In 1903 they started a joint venture with the
shoe dealer Rudolf Moos in Berlin, who was in search of producers of excellent
and cheap shoes in large quantities. This was the start of the Salamander Shoe
Manufactoring Company. Within twenty years it became the biggest shoe company in
Germany, exclusively selling shoes in its own shops all over Germany. All of Max
Levi's brothers (except Morris) and his Rothschild brother-in-laws participated
in this shoe and leather business. When Max Levi died in 1925 he had just
finished building his new family home, which in fact looked more like a castle.
He also had financial problems, as he had acquired other shoe factories, and
things had run out of control. His brother Sem Levi took care of the Salamander
business in Berlin, his brother Siegfried Levi went on with the main business
together with Arthur Levi and members of the Rothschild and Sigle family.
Besides that Siegfried Levi had an amazing hobby: he had bought Stettenfels
Castle near Heilbronn and was breeding horses for the Hoppegarten Race Track in
Berlin. When Adolf Hitler came to power only Siegfried Levi and his brother
Arthur were still alive. Under pressure of Nazi authorities they had to sell
their Salamander shares and other personal properties and finally managed to
escape to the USA and South Africa. Max Levi's widow emigrated to Switzerland.
The Salamander Company was further successfull after World War II, but during
the following decades a decline of profits occurred due to increasing wages. Labour in Eastern
Europe and Asia became much cheaper and Salamander had to close factories in
Germany. Around the year 2000 there was not much left of once glorious shoe
enterprise. The Villa of Max Levi in Stuttgart survived under the city's
ownership and still reminds of the ups and downs of a Shoe Empire that once was
unique in Germany. The Salamander brand is still well known in Germany, but only
very few people really know of the jewish aspect of this amazing story.
