Wine merchant - J. Rosenstiel & Co.

In the address book of Neustadt an der Haardt and surroundings from 1901, there are nine entries with the family name Rosenstiel, all of them wine merchants. Among them, of course, the entry of Rosenstiel J. & Cie., Weinhändler, Sauterstra;e 20. - The origin of the Rosenstiel wine merchants lies with Lazarus or Louis/Ludwig Rosenstiel from Nußloch near Heidelberg, who came to Neustadt in 1847 at the latest and probably ran a self-employed wine business here from the beginning. His five sons - Siegfried, Albert, Isidor, Adolph, Oskar and three of the four grandsons - Otto, born in 1879, Julius, born in 1880 and Wilhelm/Willi, born in 1886 - followed in his footsteps.
