Life

Siegmund Leopold Beyfus was one of four children of the married couple Levin Amschel Beyfus (1744–1833) and Frommet, geb. Zunz. Siegmund married Babette Rothschild (1784–1868) on March 9, 1808, from whose marriage the five children Sophie, Charlotte , Henriette, Julie and Meyer Siegmund emerged.

With his brother Mayer Levin (1790–1860), who married Babette's sister Julie Rothschild (1779–1815) in 1811, he ran the Levin Amschel Beyfus bank, inherited from his father and henceforth called the Beyfus Brothers Bank . With their marriage, the brothers had become part of the Mayer Amschel Rothschild family . Simon Oppenheim received a commercial training here. From 1857 the company called itself Bankhaus L. v. Steiger & Co , it went out in 1900. Siegmund Leopold's son Meyer Siegmund Beyfus continued the banking business and was a co-founder of the Frankfurter Bankverein in 1870.

The company was founded in 1700 by Benedikt Beyfus in the "House of Golden Mörsel" at the entrance to Frankfurt's Judengasse as a cloth business. After his death in 1733, his son Moses Benedikt continued to run it as a bank.
