His wife Jeanette Leeser, called Lessing (1823-1889), was the mother of another banker, Jakob Sternheim, called Carl Sternheim (1852-1918), a banker in Hanover and since 1884 a stock market and real estate broker in Berlin. This in turn was the father of the writer Carl Sternheim .

Career

Simon Coppel was born in the so-called " French era " in 1811 , decades before the beginning of industrialization . The father's family, “Hauptcollecteur” Isaak Simon, still lived in house number 98 in Linden in 1826.

In the royal seat of the Kingdom of Hanover , Coppel worked as a banker, renting real estate to Chamberlain Adolf Friedrich Graf von Linsingen, for example, owning the house at Reitwallstraße 18 in 1855 .

Simon Coppel was a member of the Hanover Charity Association and, for example, donated 100 Thaler in 1862 during the celebrations for the 100th anniversary of the facility to establish a fund for teachers who had become disabled or their widows and orphans.

After the establishment of Pluto Bergbau-AG in Essen on July 10, 1865, from which the Pluto colliery emerged , Coppel was elected to the company's first supervisory board .

In the year the empire was founded, Simon Coppel worked as an associate of the Hanoverian private bank J. Coppel & Sons on the ground floor at Schillerstrasse 28, above which he himself lived in the Bel Etage at the time.

In the February 20, 1872 for the first time at the Berlin Stock Exchange -listed provincial-exchange bank , whose shares on S. Abel jr. Coppel was one of the supervisory board members.

The listed Villa Coppel was built until 1875 on the corner of the new house and Schiffgraben

In the early days of the German Empire , the banker from 1872 to 1875 was named after him - and now listed - Villa Coppel on new house building.

Coppel was one of the two main financial sponsors of Salomon Frensdorff for the publication of his 1876 work on Masora magna .

After the death of his son, who died in an unfortunate fall from a horse in 1877, Simon Coppel established the Simon, Julie & Carl Coppelsche Foundation on the occasion of his own 70th birthday in 1881 , later also called the Karl, Julie and Simon Coppel Foundation . After his death the foundation was financially increased by his wife, who died soon after him, and later increased again by almost double the sum, so that foundation capital of around 250,000 marks was soon available. The interest gained from this was intended to support charitable institutions and to award scholarships to students of all kinds regardless of their religious affiliation. Every year some scholarships of 100 to 200 marks were awarded to students at the Royal Technical University in Hanover, but preferably to Hanoverians.
