From 1845 to 1848 Franz Nebel was President of the Chambre de commerce et d'industrie de Strasbourg et du Bas-Rhin (CCI).

Nebel's grandson-in-law (Francois Xavier) Léon Grouvel (* 1820) later joined the Strasbourg banking business as Vice-President. He was the son of Nebel's sister Marie Anne (1789-1854) from their marriage to General François Grouvel (1771-1836) in 1809 .
