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.

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.
