Jacob Falck, alias: Falk, Falke Jacob, birth 1697 Oberlistingen, Duitsland, died 1764 Oberlistingen, Duitsland, son of Falcke Jacob and NN NN The Jew Falcke In 1724 we have the first official protected Jew of Oberlistingen; The Jew Falcke. This document is found in the archives of the town of Oberlistingen: I, the undersigned am writing because I am protected by the esteemed sires of Malsburg. I wish to become a member of the Oberlistingen community with permission to reside there. I have obtained all of the rights to function in this communit y as a Jew and who has officially received these rights along with your right to cancel my contract. Furthermore, I am obligated, if the community is in need of money, and if I have the means to provide a loan without interest without damag e to myself, I will make an advance to them if the need arises. All of what is said here and recorded is based on free will and opinion, which my signature authenticates. Signed 19 October 1724 Juden Falcke (The Jew Falcke--signature in Hebrew) There exists additional information about the Jew Falcke and his descendants. One can discern from the state archives in Marburg: Following a decree of 31 March 1808 all Jews in the Kingdom of Westfalen must adopt family names. These names of wh ich cannot be changed without permission. The list of family names that were created as of this decree in Fulda District still exists. Unfortunately, the list of names of the Canton of Niedermeiser that Oberlistingen belongs to are not availabl e as proof of identity. One can discern from other sources that an Oberlistingen Jew by the name of Jacob Goldschmidt was the same person who carried the name Jacob Falcke, the son of the Jew Falcke. According to the town records, Jacob Falcke was the son of the original Falcke Jacob (born in 1696 and died in 1764)-and whose wife was named Sara (born 1704). From this marriage the son Jacob was born in 1729, another son Joseph born in 1735, fol lowed by a daughter, Blume, in 1740. Place (family): Oberlistingen, Duitsland to: Sara NN, birth 1704 According to the town records, Jacob Falcke (born in 1696 and died in 1764) was the son of the original Falcke Jacob and whose wife was named Sara (born 1704). |

1) Jacob Falcke, alias: Jacob Goldschmidt en Jacob Falke, birth ± 1729 Oberlistingen, Duitsland, died ± 1815 Oberlistingen, Duitsland ...... Jacob Falcke ...... whose wife was named Sara (born 1704). From this marriage the son Jacob was born in 1729, another son Joseph born in 1735, followed by a daughter, Blume, in 1740. The sons Jacob and Joseph were taken in as Shutzjude n in 1764 and 1770, paying their schutzgeld (Jew tax) regularly to the Renterei Zierenberg. Jacob Falcke was first married to Bela, who bore his first son, Elieser Goldschmidt (who married Roeschen Braunschild from Nieheim) He then married Judith Arons (also known as Juette or Juetchen), he produced one child, Jude Jacob, who later move d to the Netherlands and married Dina Levi. After Judit died, Jacob married Eva, the daughter of Selig Ruben from Warburg. The marriage contract between the two was sealed on the 24th November 1780. Out of this marriage a number of children wer e produced: 1. Lehmann Goldschmidt, who married Ranchen Frank daughter of Eva Goldschmidt from Warburg (relative) 2. Seligmann Goldschmidt, who married Hincka Schoenschen Alexander from Wolfhagen 3. Meyer Goldschmidt, who married Lea Katzenstein from Grebenstein 4. Simon Goldschmidt, who married Lea s sister Edeline also from Grebenstein 5. A daughter, who married David Grunewald from Pombsen near Driburg. In the archival records Meyer was registered as an ellenwarren handle (yard goods trader) and Simon was a schneidermeister (journeyman tailor). The fact that the family of Jacob Falcke was not rich in 1794 can be deducted that he only paid hal f of the tax that was dictated by the authorities. Moreover, in 1794, he borrowed from the hunters guild of Breuna, 30 reichtaler with his residence as collateral. He bought his residence in 1768 from a Jew named Herz Juda. In the contract, the name of his wife was Bela. We believe that Jacob Falcke (Goldschmidt) died in 1815. This surmise stems from the fact that in 1815 his widow, Eva, declined to pay hi s residence tax for which she only paid a reduced rate. Between the heirs of Jacob Falcke, a probate occurred in 1849, in which the other sons ceded the residence bought in 1768 to their brother, Lehmann Goldschmidt. The latter sold the hous e in 1859 to the teacher Karl Rohner and his wife. Married ± 1768 to: Bela NN, birth ± 1726, died before 1775 Jacob Falcke was first married to Bela, who bore his first son |
