Hirschland family genealogy, also Hirshland

The following short list shows the possible ancestry of Salomon Herz.  Since it is from the days before family names, it is based on paternal names. For example, Mathias Isaac and Salomon Isaac were both living in Steinheim, and both would have been the son of someone named Isaac. There was an Isaac Jost living in Steinheim at that time or a few years earlier, who was the right age, so we guess that he was their father. A similar process is used for the other names. For some the records are better than for others (i.e. there might be a document listing the names of someone’s children). There are no records directly linking Salomon Herz (who was the father of  the three brothers who took the name Hirschland) to the previous generation. But one source (Waldoff) links him to the family of Mathias Isaac. If we assume that his correct (i.e. patrilineal) name was Herz Salomon (son of Salomon) as discussed above, then it is possible that Soistman or Seligman was his father. This is based on the possibility that the Hebrew name of one of them was Salomon. This early genealogy is based on the work of Johannes Waldoff (see above); it is, however, quite speculative. The dates shown in square brackets are dates in which their names appear in records, not their birth or death years.

    Starting with Salomon Herz, the genealogy becomes better documented. However, even during this period (up to about 1850) there are lots of holes in the data, and even contradictory data.

  1. -   Salomon HERZ (Herz SALOMON) (HIRSCHLAND) (1736, Lippe - about 1799, Steinheim) & Golde LEVI (1735, Bruchhausen - ?, Steinheim)

                Salomon Herz, who also went by Herz Salomon, was the “Patriarch” of the Hirschland family. Close to 1000 people on this page are descended from him. While he probably never used the name Hirschland himself (he died before family names were taken), his three sons all took the name when the Jews of Steinheim took family names in 1812.  His wife, Golde Levi, was the daughter of Israel Levi and a descendant of Jacob Bassevi von Treuenberg, advisor to Holy Roman Emperor Rudolf II and the first Jew to be made a member of the nobility. If you are descended from the people on this page, then you are also descended from him (through Golde Levi). Her family, going back to 1475, can be found on THIS PAGE.

  1.    Zarle HERZ (HIRSCHLAND) (1766 - 3 December 1813) & Salomon Joel HERZFELD

            The oldest child of Salomon Herz, Zarle married Salomon Joel (Salomon, son of Joel). When family names were taken, they took the name Herzfeld.

Read more HERE.  It seems that his arrest may have been mainly due to his being a Chiropractor, which was strongly opposed by the medical establishment at the time.

Traces of him had disappeared after 1937 and he was presumed to have been murdered by the Nazis. However, I was recently contacted by a relative of Kurt’s wife, who told me that both he and his wife went to Bolivia in about 1938, traveling via the trans-Siberian railroad. She told me that they lived in Cochabamba, Bolivia where Kurt died in 1946 (?) and she sent me photos of him in Bolivia and a photo of his gravestone. His wife moved to the United States where she remarried. She died in Germany. There is a bit more about Kurt, in German, HERE.

  11.    Albert HIRSCHLAND (29 November 1896, Steinheim - 18 February 1943, Auschwitz)  

       In 1935 Albert Hirschland, the principal of a business college in Magdeburg, was accused of having sex with underage non-Jewish students. He was arrested and put on trial for “race defilement”, and details of his case were published and broadcast throughout Germany. The Hirschland trial was one of the Nazi’s biggest propaganda efforts up to that time, and they used it to try and demonstrate the perverted nature of the Jews. Accusations were made of Hirschland seducing hundreds of innocent girls, and of mass orgies in a friend’s apartment. The anti-Semitic Nazi paper, “Der Sturmer” put out a special 16-page issue about, “Albert Hirschland, the Race-defiler from Magdeburg” (see cover at right). Two million copies of the special issue were distributed. The media campaign in Magdeburg “reached a frenzy of demonization and hatred”. Hirschland was found guilty of five counts of illicit sexual acts and sentenced to 10 years in prison and 10 years of “preventive detention”. The anti-Jewish hysteria that the Nazis whipped up helped set the stage for the Nuremberg laws introduced later that year, which stripped the Jews of many of their rights and made marriage as well as sexual relations between Jews and non-Jews illegal. Hirschland was imprisoned, and in 1943 murdered at Auschwitz.

        Amalie and Abraham Hirschland were first cousins. Their many descendants are listed under Abraham Hirschland (son of Herz Salomon) near the top of this page. See a photo of the family at the end of this page.

  1.    Isaak HIRSCHLAND (28 May 1821, Steinheim - 1 June 1896) & Lena MEIER (1827, Essen - 30 May 1895, Reading, PA)

        Isaak  and Lena were married on 4 May 1847 and immigrated to the United States in 1848. They moved to Reading, PA in 1853, where their children were born and where Isaac was one of the founders of the city’s first Synagogue. In the U.S. the family changed the spelling of its name to Hirshland (no “c”).  The genealogy that I was using for most of this data included Isaak and Lena, but had none of their descendants. Contact between them and their German Hirschland relatives was apparently lost after they left Germany. However a web search by Victoria Hess found a Hirshland family tree posted by Lee Hirshland that started with Isaac Hirshland and Lena Meier, so the connections between the two families was found.

Family of Abraham (1801-1866) and Amalie (1818-1887) Hirschland. Abraham and Amelie were first cousins. He was the son on Herz Salomon Hirschland; she was the daughter of Jonas Hirschland. We don’t have specifics on who is who among the children, but based on their ages we can surmise that the boy standing behind his mother is the oldest, Salomon, and that the oldest daughter, Gella is standing to the left of her father. There were a total of fourteen children; nine are shown here.

August, Marianne, Paul, and Ruth were children of Kurt Hirschland, Richard and Herbert of Franz Hirschland, and Dorothy and Henry of Georg Hirschland.

The Hirschland family originated in the town of Steinheim in Westphalia in western Germany (see photo of Steinheim on THIS page and map HERE). One branch of the family moved to Essen, founding what would become one of the largest privately held banks in Germany.


The Hirschland family is descended from Salomon Herz (1736 - about 1799). Salomon had three sons, Herz Salomon, Marcus Herz, Jonas Herz, and a daughter Zahrle. There were possibly two other children, but no record of their descendants could be found.  Herz Salomon moved with his family to Essen, founding the Essen branch of the family; his siblings and their families remained in Steinheim.


About names: Traditionally, Jews did not use family names. They used a single name, followed by their father’s name. “Isaac Abraham” would be Isaac, the son of Abraham. His son might be “Jacob Isaac”, i.e. Jacob, the son of Isaac. Not until the early 1800’s (specifically 1812 in Steinheim) were Jews required to pick family names. Siblings often chose the same name, as did Herz, Marcus, and Jonas, who all took the name Hirschland. However, during this time period, names were more fluid than they are today. This was before the days of driver’s licenses, Social Security cards, or even birth certificates, so there was no “official” name; people’s names were whatever they wanted to be called, or whatever people called them. So, for example, Herz Salomon’s wife is listed as Jüdel, Judith, Gütel, and Julie, depending on when and by whom her name was written. All are correct. Similarly, Herz Salomon is sometimes referred to as Salomon Herz. That is confusing in that this was the name his father used. Plus, since his brothers were Markus Herz and Jonas Herz (Markus, son of Herz, and Jonas, son of Herz) it would make sense that he would go by Salomon Herz. And it would be expected that his father would have the first name Herz (instead of being called Salomon Herz). Except at times his father DID use Herz Salomon. Confusing? Yes. But in a sense it is no different from today, where we seem to refer to certain people by their last names, but other people we always refer to by their first names.


Because of the lack of family names before 1800, as well as the paucity of written records, it becomes difficult to trace Jewish families back very far before that time (unless there is an important and well documented person involved). However, there is enough documentation from Steinheim to suggest the possible ancestry of Salomon Herz back to the mid-1600’s, although it is speculative. However, for his wife, Golde Levi, the records go back as far as 1475; they can be found HERE. Her family is well documented because she is descended from Jacob Bassevi von Treuenberg (1570- 1634), “Court Jew” to the Holy Roman Emperor.


In the 1700‘s the majority of the population of Europe was engaged in farming. Jews, however, were forbidden from owning land, so they rarely were farmers. Instead, many of them were itinerant traders, walking farm-to-farm, village-to-village, buying and selling things, often dealing in cattle. By the early 1800’s many of them would sell things from their homes; later they would open shops. Simon Hirschland in Essen was one of these small shopkeepers. Things he sold included wool, meat, pelts, nails, copper, lead, and cattle. Oftentimes, his customers were unable to immediately pay him for merchandise, so he would sell on credit. This lending part of the business grew, and in 1841 Simon started a small banking business, the Simon Hirshland Bank. The bank was very successful, becoming, under the direction of Simon’s son Isaac (photo at right), one of the largest banks in Germany. It was instrumental in financing many of the industries of the Ruhrgebiet, the industrial heartland of Germany centered around Essen. They were bankers to the Krupps, also based in Essen, Germany’s largest armaments manufacturer, and in the late 1800’s the largest industrial company in the world.


With the growth of the bank, the role of the Hirschlands in Essen also grew, becoming one of the leading families of Essen. They were involved in city government, with several family members on the City Council. They were involved philanthropically, funding schools, charities, and cultural institutions. They helped fund the city’s Synagogue and its Folkwang art museum. They associated with the most elite social circles; see for example the photo at right of Franz Hirschland playing cards with the wife of the Kaiser. (If you wonder where the Kaiser was while his wife was playing cards, THIS page might give you an idea. . .)


Several members of the family were avid art collectors, especially of Impressionist paintings, buying them early in the last century. Paintings collected by the family can now be found on the walls of the Metropolitan Museum in New York and other major museums.


Despite their wealth and influence, the Hirschlands could not avoid the persecutions of the Nazi era. They were forced to sell the Hirschland banks to “Aryans” for a small fraction of their value. Most of the Hirschlands were able to escape Germany; Simon Hirschland’s son Franz was already living in the U.S. and was able to help many family members immigrate. After the war, the family was able to reclaim a part of their holdings in Germany.


Descendants of the Hirschland family are now living mostly in the United States and  England, with some family members also in Israel, Belgium, South America, Sweden, Australia, and New Zealand. There are only a small handful of family members still in Germany.



This page was done in collaboration with Victoria Hess (born Hirschland) and should be read in conjunction with Victoria’s website, www.hirschland.com., and her new updated site, hirschland.wordpress.com. While on this page I focus on the Hirschland genealogy, Victoria tells the stories of the people found here. Her work in putting data on Geni.com and starting a Hirschland Facebook page, helped find many previously unknown relatives.


Most of the pre-1930’s data on this page came from the work of Albert Phiebig who assembled a detailed Hirschland genealogy in 1932. Additional information came from the work of Johannes Waldhoff.  His book, Die Geschichte der Juden in Steinheim (History of the Jews of Steinheim) as well as the notebooks he shared with me were crucial in learning the early history of the Jewish families of Steinheim.  Additional information came from the work Chronik der Familie Löwenstein-Porta, by Siegfried Porta, published in 1922, which showed the connection to the Bassevi family. Another critical source of data was the work of Alex Bernstein. Alex was born in Höxter, a town close to Steinheim, and emigrated to the U.S. In the 1930’s, he returned to Germany and collected all the genealogical information he could find on the Jews of that region. I was able to obtain a copy of his work, which has proven invaluable. For the Essen branch of the family, the document, The History and Fate of the Jews of Essen by Dr. Hermann Schröter was very helpful, as was the family tree assembled by Henry Hirschland. Most of the photographs on this page were provided by Victoria Hess. The ones of gravestones in Steinheim were taken by me.



Thank you to all the people who were generous in sharing with me information they had on the Hirschland family. This includes Victoria Hess, Edna Southard, Doris and Ernie Stiefel, Aviv Benedix, David Blank, Peter Levitt, Mondy Katz, and June Nathan.


If you have information you can add to this page, I’d like to hear from you! See my contact information at the very bottom of the page, or better yet, click on the email link to the right. In case you’re wondering where I (Daniel Kester, creator of this page) am on the page, I’m not. I’m somewhat peripherally related to the Hirschlands, being related to Golde Levi, the wife of Salomon Herz, the first couple on the main listing below (see my BASSEVI page for details). However, I had so much data on the Hirschland family that I thought I should share it. Turned out it was even more than I thought, over 1300 people.


In the list below, names in RED are people who were murdered during the Shoah (Holocaust), 1933-1945.
