Wesel

Birth house of Anna Katharina Emmerick in Coesfeld-Flamschen
Gabriel von Max The ecstatic virgin Katharina Emmerich

The Wesel Jews lost their property in 1629 because it was precisely these that were plundered in the armed conflicts with the Dutch and Spaniards . Some of the families became followers of the false messiah Sabbatai Zvi and his prophet Nathan of Gaza. Disappointed with his false prophecies , many of them became Catholics . Nathan of Gaza also turned away with baptism and took the name Nunziato Bernardus Gatti (Gatty) , his descendants went to France and Italy .

Jacob Gumpel († 1722) was extended the letter of protection for a further 15 years on May 1, 1661 in recognition of his good conduct.

David ben Salomon Emmerich (* before 1599 in Emmerich; † around 1662) received his own letter of safe conduct after the city of Emmerich had rejected him. He married Jachet and became head of the country. Among his descendants were:

  1. Silpa († 1663), buried in Kleve, where her son set up a foundation for his mother.
    1. Isaac from Essen († after 1690)
  2. Mordechai Gumpel Wesel († 1674), also called Gumpert David or Gumpel Wesel , was head of the entire Klevian Jewry in 1658. He was also refused the letter of safe conduct for Emmerich, but was issued for Wesel because he supported the Great Elector in building a library in Berlin. So he gave him an old, preserved parchment , the Halachot Isaak Alfasis . In the second volume there is a Hebrew dedication from Gumperz to the elector. His wife Bela († around 1703), buried in Münden , and his 13 children he left in prosperity.
    1. Juda Loeb Wesel († 1674 in Frankfurt am Main)
    2. Moses Wesel († before 1686) received the letter of safe conduct for Wesel after the death of his father and became a councilor. He was married to Judith Berend.
    3. Jachet († 1743) married Salman Minden
    4. Jacob Gomperz applied for the extension by 20 years on February 14, 1687 to extend the letter of safe conduct to include his siblings and children. It was not until May 9, 1696 that his document was extended and only the children were included. Together with his son Salomon and his son-in-law Lewin Ulff, he set up a silk ribbon factory that sold its products at large trade fairs . Many masters were drawn to the Duchy of Cleves, as the Mascopey offered plenty of employment. The success caused the envy of Matthias Goll, who also ran a silk ribbon factory, and so he demanded the closure of the Jewish factory in Berlin. In order to protect a Christian company, the Ulff'schen Mascopey was charged taxes on the import of the fabrics, the masters were forced to return home and relocation of the business premises was prohibited.
      1. Franken Gumpertz, married to Meyer Juda. The privilege of his father-in-law gave him his own right of residence in the city.
      2. Mata († April 16, 1730 in Berlin) married Lewin (Loeb) Ulff († 1737). He received the unlimited letter of safe conduct on December 24, 1694; his mother was née Oppenheim . After the factory was closed, he was involved in lawsuits and disputes for 18 years. He moved his residence to Charlottenburg and opened a new silk ribbon factory there, which, however, did not have the same success as the old one.
      3. Salomon Jacob Gomperz, called Salman Wesel . After the factory was closed, he worked for the Oppenheim family in Vienna.
  3. Menachem ben David Emmerich (* 1620 Wesel), also Menachem Man Wesel . He also named his son Nathan in honor of Nathan of Gaza . He gave the parchment of the Law Compendium of Isaac of Corbeil to the electoral library.
    1. Nathan ben Menachem Emmerich (* 1650) married Chana Korff in 1697. Both came from Westphalia and were baptized as Catholics . Channa, who took the name of the Korff-Schmising von Tatenhausen , the rulers of their homeland, was now called Anna . She was an aunt of Rabbi Isaak von Drohobich (Drubitsh) († 1752). Rabbi Isaak became a follower of Baal Shem Tov and many of the Korff descendants became Hasidic Rebbes. Nathan took the first name Bernardus when he was baptized .
      1. Bernard Emmerich (* about 1699) married 1727 Margaretha Raber († 2 April 1737), the daughter of Bernardus Raber, whose ancestors Nathan of Gaza, who also Nathan ha Rebi was called back
        1. Johann Bernard Emmerich (born April 17, 1729 in Flamschen ) married Anna Hillers in 1766, the daughter of the Zhviller Rebbe Moshe Korff.
          1. Anna Katharina Emmerick (Emmerich) (born September 8, 1774 in Coesfeld , † February 9, 1824 in Dülmen , Westphalia ) was a nun (in the Augustinian order ) and a mystic . In 2004 she was beatified by Pope John Paul II . Her feast day is February 9th.

The family had owned Oslavany Castle since 1885, where the poet Ferdinand von Saar lived and worked as a guest .

With the end of the Second World War in 1945, the Gomperz family was expropriated , the castle fell to the Czechoslovak state and was used as a warehouse for a long time . In 1993 the castle became municipal property and is currently being restored. His property also included a tenement house in the 4th district of Vienna , Plösslgasse 4; the Palais Gomperz in the 1st district of Vienna Innere Stadt , Kärntner Ring 3 and its collection of paintings with a large number of works by Emil Orlik .

Since in November 1941 "the entire standing and lying property as well as all rights and claims of Gomperz" had been confiscated by the Gestapo , the money was placed in a "limited security account" . After a long process , the heirs were given back property , most of the paintings have been lost.
