Mayer Amschel Rothschild laid the foundations on which his five sons and their descendants would build a Europe wide banking empire. From the family base in Frankfurt where the five Rothschild brothers were born, Rothschild business interests developed rapidly, in a diverse range of business sectors.
Mayer Amschel Rothschild was born in in the Judengasse, in Frankfurt. His father had a business in goods-trading and currency exchange. He was a personal supplier of collectable coins to the Prince of Hesse.
In , James Mayer Rothschild established a banking house in Paris. Salomon Mayer Rothschild settled in Vienna in Carl Mayer Rothschild set up business in Naples in , leaving Amschel Mayer , to head the Frankfurt bank. Nathan Rothschild contributed to many areas in the Jewish community. His family later expanded these charitable efforts to other populations in Paris and London.
His earliest efforts went toward synagogues in London. This led to the formation of the United Synagogue, a group that helped streamline the causes of the smaller synagogues. Later, family members supported the development of Israel and helped construct housing and government buildings.
Nathan's youngest child, Louise, and her seven daughters took responsibility for many of the 30 Rothschild charitable foundations in Frankfurt.
These foundations included public libraries, orphanages, hospitals, homes for the elderly, and special funds allocated for the purpose of education. The Jews' Free School in London received extensive financial support. Educational efforts in Austria, France, and Israel were also made possible through Rothschilds' generosity.
In addition to monies put toward education, the family gave an estimated 60, pieces of artwork to public institutions. The Rothschild family expanded the creation of social housing in the cities of London and Paris, and the Rothschild Foundation was created to further these efforts. Wars, politics and family rivalries diminished the family fortune over the next years.
The Naples branch of the bank closed in , and a lack of male heirs led to the closure of the Frankfurt branch in The Vienna branch was shuttered in following the Nazi invasion of Austria and the danger posed to Jews. The Vichy government in France expropriated Rothschild Bordeaux properties during the war, and the Nazis confiscated millions of dollars worth of art and other precious objects from the Austrian branch of the family a portion of these were returned by the Austrian government in Over the years, palatial Rothschild estates were donated to the British and French governments and other organizations and universities.
By the s, three Rothschild banks remained: the London and Paris branches and a Swiss bank founded by Edmond Adolphe de Rothschild — By , the British and French banks were united with David as chair.
The family wealth has been divided among descendants and heirs over the years. Today, Rothschild holdings span a number of industries, including financial services, real estate, mining, energy, and charitable work. The family also owns more than a dozen wineries throughout the world. Traditionally, the Rothschild fortune is invested in closely held corporations. Today, Rothschild corporations have continued to see success. Most family members are employed by these corporations directly or are invested in operations that generate family wealth.
The remarkable success of the family has largely been due to a strong interest in cooperation, being entrepreneurs, and the practice of smart business principles.
The estate of Nathan Rothschild was intimately tied to the other fortunes of the family and became part of the collective wealth each Rothschild passed to the next generation.
Rothschild descendants continue to finance global business operations and contribute to scholarly, humanitarian, cultural, and business endeavors. The family motto is Concordia, Integritas, Industria , which means harmony, integrity and industry.
