Son of Jacob Reichenbach

David Otto Reichenbach

1851 — 20 August 1857

A child of Jacob Reichenbach and Helene Heinemann, recorded only in the family genealogy and Halberstadt’s cemetery register.

The family genealogy places David Otto among the children of Jacob Reichenbach and Helene Heinemann.

A cemetery register supplied by Jutta Dick records “David Otto Reichenbach,” identified there as a child, born in 1851 and buried on 20 August 1857 in Halberstadt’s older Am Berge Jewish cemetery.

No portrait, gravestone photograph, civil birth entry or additional biographical record has yet been located. The available dates indicate that he died in childhood.
