Life

Georg Oppenheimer was born as the son of the Hamburg businessman and partner in the banking house Heckscher & Co. Jacob Amschel Oppenheimer (1778–1845) and his wife Esther, b. Heckscher, an aunt of Johann Gustav Heckscher , was born. One of his sisters, Henriette Wilhelmine married the lawyer and later Hamburg Senator Johann Arning (1786–1862), Phillipine Adele (1807–1873) in 1831 Nicolaus Ferdinand Haller and Anna Emilie (1803–1885) Johannes Christoph Fehling ; they became the parents of Emil Ferdinand Fehling .

Georg attended the learned school of the Johanneum and the grammar school in Gotha . From Easter 1823 he studied law at the University of Heidelberg and was awarded a Dr. PhD in both rights. During his studies he became a member of the Corps Saxo-Borussia Heidelberg in 1825 and later an honorary member. He then returned to his hometown of Hamburg and was admitted to the bar as an attorney and soon became one of the most important lawyers in Hamburg. In 1842 he was appointed judge at the Higher Appeal Court of the Four Free Cities in Lübeck on the basis of the Hamburg Senate's right to propose proposals and held the position of judge until his departure in December 1853, which was requested for health reasons. Then he lived as a privateer in Lübeck. He lived in the town house at Mengstrasse 2 and his father-in-law's summer house at Eschenburgstrasse 39, built by the Hamburg architect Alexis de Chateauneuf in 1837. From 1854 to 1856, Oppenheimer was director of the Society for the Promotion of Charitable Activities in Lübeck.

Oppenheimer married Emilie Johanne Elise Buchholz , born in Vienna, in 1833 , daughter of the later Lübeck council syndic Carl August Friedrich Buchholz (1785–1843) and Catharina Eleonora Luise Tesdorpf († 1846), daughter of the wine merchant Peter Hinrich Tesdorpf (1745–1811) in Bordeaux, later Lübeck.
