Feidel David

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Feidel David Kassel (also Fajtel ; * unknown in Elfershausen ; † October 6, 1801 in Kassel ) was a German-Jewish court factor at the court of the Landgraviate of Hesse-Kassel .

Life

During the Seven Years' War , the protective Jew David rose from purveyor to court (1756) to court and chamber agent (1763) under the reign of Landgrave Friedrich II of Hessen-Kassel , and in 1792 he was promoted to chief court and chamber agent. For his son David Feidel (1759-1836) in 1785 he guaranteed a takeover of the office. He settled in Frankfurt am Main in 1777, where he also ran business for Hessen-Kassel and the King of Denmark . In fact, in 1801 Moses Büding and in 1803 Mayer Amschel Rothschild took over the office under Landgrave Wilhelm I. His daughter Leah married the Hamburg banker Wolf Levin Popert († 1791). His daughter Hanna († 1796) married the Frankfurt banker Gumperz Isaak Ellissen (Reuse) (1755-1818).

During the Seven Years' War Feidel David arranged for the landgrave to transfer the English subsidies . He is said to have been one of the organizers of the soldier trade under Landgrave Friedrich II of Hessen-Kassel , which took place during the American War of Independence . Although his part in it is rather unclear, it is still part of the content of anti-Semitic propaganda, often in connection with the rise of the Rothschilds .
