Life

Löb Carlburg was the son of Marcus (Mordechai) and Esther Carlburg. He attended several Talmud schools ( yeshivot ). He was a student of Meier Barby in Pressburg and Nathan Adler in Frankfurt . He also learned in the yeshiva in Prague and Berlin .

From 1793 he worked as a private tutor , for example in Bonn in the house of Susman Moses Kaufmann. There he studied Latin and Greek as an autodidact and dealt with philosophy and Arabic, Chaldean and Syrian language research.

In 1803 he became the second rabbi in Bonn. In 1806 he was invited to the great Sanhedrin in Paris , but could not attend because he had an eye disease. He later became blind in one eye.

On March 9, 1809 he was elected chief rabbi of the newly established Krefeld consistory. He took his oath of office on April 13, 1809. When he took office on May 26, 1809, he also dedicated the synagogue . It was built in 1764 and had been rebuilt, with a new Torah shrine. In Krefeld in 1810 there were 160 Jewish people in 20 households. Krefeld had the highest proportion of Jewish population in the Roer department and therefore received the headquarters of the consistory.

Löb Carlburg had been chief rabbi of the consistory for 25 years until his death.
