history

Innkeeper Zum schwarzen Adler and family in Stein a. K.

The family comes from Stein a. K. off, here the Jewish cemetery

The history of the Gumbel family in Stein am Kocher first went back to two sisters who first came to Stein aK. The older Sara Gumbel remained single (1760–25 March 1832, Stein), the younger Regina (Rahel) Gumbel (1768) married Nathan Abraham Sternheimer, but died on December 29, 1811 in Stein. Her nephew, the progenitor of the Heilbronn banking family Gumbel, Abraham Gumbel, son of businessman Gumbel and Regina (Rahel), also came to Stein aK and married Henriette Stiefel, daughter of Hirsch Löw Stiefel (1752-20 January 1824) and Hindel there in 1821 (1763-22 June 1834 in Stein). Abraham Gumbel was first a trader, from 1838 an eagle host. Abraham's wife Henriette gave birth to thirteen children between 1821 and 1839, of which only six reached adulthood. Abraham's eldest son was Isaak Gumbel, who married Güta Stern from Sontheim on June 4, 1851. Soon afterwards, on July 31, 1851, the father died. Half of his property goes to his widow and 1/12 to the 6 surviving children. At first, Abrahm's widow continued to run the Zum schwarzen Adler , then his son Hermann was the owner of the Adlerwirtschaft from 1866. In 1871 Hermann Gumbel sold the property to the community of Stein a. K. As part of the emancipation laws from 1860 onwards, all six children left the village to move to the cities. Moses / Max Gumbel and Isaak Gumbel were probably doing bills of exchange in Heilbronn as early as 1858, first of all, Moses applied individually for Heilbronn citizenship. Then Isaak Gumbel applied with his wife and 7 children in 1861 for citizenship. Rosa Gumbel married Samuel Oppenheimer from Walldürn and moved with him to live with her siblings in Heilbronn. Joseph Gumbel moved to Sinsheim after his marriage, while Hermann Gumbel moved with his wife to his siblings in Heilbronn after the sale of the property.

Family banking in Heilbronn (1860–1933)

From 1860 to 1879 the banking business of the Gumbel brothers existed at Kramstrasse 54, partners were Abraham's sons Moses (later: Max) and Isaak Gumbel. When both sons married and had children of their own, the banking business was split up in 1880.

The Gumbel-Kiefe banking and exchange business was created and existed from 1880 to 1917, the owner was Max (Moses) Gumbel. From 1899 the owner was Max and his son Wilhelm Gumbel, from 1905 Gottfried, another son of Max Gumbel, was added as the owner.

The Gumbel-Kiefe banking and exchange business was merged into the Bank for Trade and Industry (Darmstädter Bank) Heilbronn branch , Kaiserstraße 25 , in 1918 . The so-called office building at Barbarino-Eck at Kaiserstraße 25 was built in 1898 by the merchant Victor Alfred Schneider according to plans by the architects Ernst Walter and Karl Luckscheiter in the style of eclecticism . Form elements of the French Neo-Baroque (spire) alternate with those of the Italian Neo-Renaissance (portal). In 1918 the building was acquired by the bank for trade and industry Darmstadt, Heilbronn branch . The branch of the Gumbel-Kiefe bank enterprises - a branch of the well-known Heilbronn banker family Gumbel - had gone into the business. The company existed until 1933.

After the spin-off, Isaak Gumbel founded the Gumbel bank and exchange business on the market (1880–1906), which was owned by Isaak. From 1889 his son Abraham Gumbel became the owner and his wife Elise Gumbel, née Aaron, was appointed as authorized signatory.

The Gumbel am Markt bank and exchange business was merged into Stahl und Federer AG , Heilbronn branch, formerly I. Gumbel am Markt , in 1908 . However, this only lasted until 1914.

Abraham Gumbel (1852–1930), son of the Heilbronn banker Isaak Gumbel, founded the Heilbronner Bankverein in 1909/10 - the forerunner of today's Volksbank Heilbronn . The managing director was Abraham Gumbel, authorized officer Otto Igersheimer, Dr. jur. Julius Mattil, Marktplatz 2, from 1917 Kaiserstraße 34.

Family academics

Attorney Dr. Siegmund Gumbel (1867–1942) was born in Heilbronn as the son of the Heilbronn banker Isaak Gumbels. He was admitted to the Heilbronn Regional Court in 1898 and moved to Stuttgart in 1913. There he was admitted to the bar in 1914, and in 1926 he was appointed public notary. The license was withdrawn on November 30, 1938, Siegmund Gumbel emigrated in June 1939 and died on December 22, 1942 in London.

Dr. Walter Gumbel - son of the lawyer Siegmund Gumbel and grandson of the Heilbronn banker Isaak Gumbel - was born in Heilbronn in 1903. In 1929 he was admitted to the Stuttgart bar and worked together with his father in the law firm. The license was withdrawn on September 1, 1933, and in August 1933 he emigrated to England. In May 1935 he was able to work as a lawyer again as Barrister at Law in London. His son Nicky Gumbel (* 1955) is primarily associated with the alpha courses .

Siegfried Gumbel (1874–1942), the youngest child of the Heilbronn banker Max Gumbel, became a lawyer in Heilbronn and, during the persecution, became president of the Israelite Council in Stuttgart in 1936 .

Dr. Erich Gumbel - Siegfried Gumbel's son - became a psychoanalyst in Israel. Another son of Siegfried Gumbel was Otto Gumbel (Abrahm Guivol) and graduate engineer. He prepared an expert opinion on Heilbronn's position in the Reichsbahnnetz :

“The following is to investigate the cheapest international connection routes Heilbronn is located, for which routes D-train traffic is possible, and an attempt is also made to develop a supplementary express train system with the center Heilbronn ... Certain Stuttgart districts were short-sighted enough to thwart a stop of this train in Heilbronn, which the Reichsbahn headquarters in Berlin was not averse to ... A train stop in Heilbronn (110,000 inhabitants) made it easy to double the intermediate traffic for the southern section ... Nobody will believe that in the first place the wealthy manufacturers and wholesale merchants who want to go to Berlin or Leipzig with the least possible loss of time, 50 km. Drive south to drive the same route backwards again with the FD train, the Reichsbahn does not only get the special surcharge, it will tempt some vehicle owners to reach their destination in their own car. There is no longer any case in the whole empire that a city is driven through, whose traffic population is over 100,000 (the proof that Groß-Heilbronn has 113,000 inhabitants will be provided with information on the traffic relations soon) ... The demand is therefore made, which is already over FD trains 11 and 12 operating Heilbronn with a stop and run all year round. Only then can we speak of sufficient traffic conditions on the large north-south route; only then should the occupancy and economy of the train justify its permanent retention, which is very questionable today. "

Another academic in the family was the German-Jewish mathematician and political journalist Emil Julius Gumbel (1891–1966) - son of the Munich banker Hermann Gumbel - he was a grandson of the Heilbronn banker Isaak Gumbel.
