Quedlinburg merchant · buried in Halberstadt

Moritz Reichenbach · Moshe HaLevi

died 6 June 1936

Recorded as Moritz Reichenbach in the cemetery register and as Moshe HaLevi on his wife Miriam Mathilde’s Hebrew gravestone.

The Halberstadt Jewish cemetery register records Moritz Reichenbach as a merchant connected with Quedlinburg and places his burial in plot VIII 6 at Klein Quenstedter Straße.

Miriam Mathilde Reichenbach née Loewenthal lies in the adjoining plot VIII 5. Her Hebrew gravestone calls her the wife of R. Moshe HaLevi Reichenbach. The shared surname, adjoining plots and register evidence identify Moshe HaLevi and Moritz as the same husband.

The register also records a child Paul Reichenbach, who died on 18 October 1904, as the son of the Quedlinburg merchant Moritz Reichenbach. This child is not Paul Reichenbach (1876–1935).

Evidence note

The marriage and the parent-child household are established by the cemetery records. Their precise relationship to the principal Jacob–Adolf–Paul family line remains unresolved.
