Banking business - Gebrüder Gunzenhäuser

The Gebrüder Gunzenhäuser bank must have already existed before 1900. A picture postcard from 1898 (identical to the card shown - only used 6 years earlier), currently on display in the exhibition "Traces of Jewish Life in Feuchtwangen" in the Feuchtwangen Museum, bears witness to this. In the Münchner Gedenkbuch in the biography of " Selma Sophie (Sophie Selma ) Rosenthal, née Gunzenhäuser " the following information can be found about her father " Jakob Gunzenhäuser " - banker and chairman of the Jewish community in Feuchtwangen. Jakob Gunzenhäuser was married to Jette Gunzenhäuser, née Gutmann from Oberdorf am Ipf. The couple had four children - Amalie, married name Ullmann, born on August 5, 1874 in Feuchtwangen, David, born on June 28, 1876 in Gunzenhausen, Selma Sophie, born on September 3, 1882 in Feuchtwangen and Paulina, born on October 24, 1888 in Feuchtwangen - died on October 26, 1888 in Feuchtwangen.
