Grave of Mendel Schie

He was born in 1784 as the son of Jacob Löbel Schie and was a grandson of the first Jewish orderer of the modern Jewish community of Dresden Löbel Schie. His family had been entrusted with the proper burial of the dead for decades, but Mendel Schie no longer took over the office, but instead founded a barter shop in Pirnaische Gasse. From this a banking house emerged, which he successfully ran until his death.

Among other things, Schie supported the urban poor and maintained a private synagogue in his private quarters at his own expense . This was due to the fact that the Jews of Dresden were forbidden to officially operate a synagogue due to the Jewish Code of 1772. It was in the Arnoldisches Haus at Webergasse No. 2, at the corner of the Altmarkt . His synagogue had two floors and had a solemn and dignified appearance for the time.
The Arnoldisches Haus, on the other hand, was built shortly after 1500 as a Renaissance building and in 1790 was raised by two storeys by master builder Christian Traugott Weinlig.Like all buildings on the Altmarkt, it was destroyed in February 1945 during the air raids on Dresden .

From 1813 to 1837, Mendel Schie held the office of community elder together with Samuel Kaim and Hirsch Beer. In 1845, Mendel also took over the post of head of the Jewish community in Dresden, in the same year head of the burial brotherhood .

Mendel Schie also founded a health care company, whose assets in 1856 amounted to 676  thalers and 3  new pennies .

He is buried in the old Jewish cemetery in Dresden (grave 32/11). His family continued to operate his bank as Mendel Schie Nachf. And in 1894 it was sold to the banking house Gebrüder Arnhold .
