Plans for a new building of the Altdorf synagogue existed already in 1841. In a letter of the building commission especially founded for this purpose to the Ettlingen district office, H. Hirsch, Abraham Dreyfuß and David Bernheimer signed at that time.

The merchant Herz Seligmann Aschrott of Hochheim am Main owned a vineyard and lands in Hochheim and operated a linen trade in Kassel. In 1838, the family moved to Kassel. The son of Herz Seligmann Aschrott and his wife Regine, Sigmund Aschrott, who was born on June 14, 1826 still in Hochheim, returned to Kassel after his apprenticeship in a colonial wholesaler in Frankfurt, expanded his father's business and thus became the "father of the Kassel textile industry". He thus brought world renown to the Kassel linen industry.

Julius Nördlinger received his doctorate in medicine in 1915. Military service was followed by training as a specialist in internal medicine at Augsburg's main hospital.
