Goldschmidt (family)

The Goldschmidt family is of Ashkenazi origin and originally came from a money changer and banker family in Frankfurt am Main . It comes from Mosche Goldschmidt and his wife Bela, who settled in the Goldener Schwan house in Frankfurt's Judengasse in 1521 . Like other Jewish families, they originally came to Frankfurt after they were expelled from Nuremberg in 1498 . After the Frankfurt Fettmilch Uprising in 1614, the Goldschmidt family left Frankfurt again. Some members then settled in Kassellow. In 1634 their descendant, the money changer Mayer Baruch (Benedikt) Kassel, returned to Frankfurt, married Bella Bölgen Buchsbaum and from then on carried the family name Goldschmidt-Kassel .

The Goldschmidt family had professional and family ties to the German-Jewish Bischoffsheim family from Mainz ; together they founded the Parisian bank Bischoffsheim, Goldschmidt & Cie . This merged in 1863 in the Amsterdam- based Nederlandsche Credit en Deposito Bank ( French Banque de crédit et de dépôt des Pays-Bas ), which in turn merged with the Banque de Paris in 1872 to form the Banque de Paris et des Pays-Bas (abbreviated "Paribas "). This company was taken over in 1999 by the French bank Banque nationale de Paris ("BNP" for short); this has been operating under the name BNP Paribas since then .

The British branch of the family Anglicized his family name to Goldsmith , starting with Frank Goldsmith (1878-1967). The best known member of this family in the 20th century was the billionaire James Goldsmith . Today's best-known members are his children Jemima Goldsmith (* 1974), journalist, film producer and divorced wife of Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan , and Zac Goldsmith (* 1975), member of the British House of Commons for the London constituency of Richmond Park . The French branch changes its name during the first World War in Goldet .
