Life
Simon Alfred was the only son among five children of the banker Eduard von Oppenheim and his wife Amalie Heuser.
In 1886 he joined the bank, which was then run by Eduard and Albert Oppenheim, became a partner in 1893 and, after the death of his father in 1913, became the bank's senior partner.

After military service and a serious car accident, Simon Alfred returned to Cologne wounded in 1916 and took over the management of the bank again as a member of the supervisory board of a large number of companies.

- Harold von Oppenheim (1892–1961)
- Waldemar von Oppenheim (1894–1952)
