Ida Cassirer (d. 23 Dec 1863)[^There is an identified Ida Cassirer - born Ida Crämer (Krämer), who married LeopoldCassirer (son of Salomon2Cassirer and Ernestine Wachsmann) in 1858. At best this would make her a daughter in law not daughter, which is a possible translation error. Whilst there is an Ida Cassirer (ne [[IdaKraemer|Ida Krämer]]) in the family tree from the right region, how can 'Ida', born Krämer, be a daughter of Cassirers? It seems she is a daughter-in-law [Schwiegertochter]. So, again a bureaucratic routine-slip. But of course not all 'participants' in jewish documents spoke the average 'Hochdeutsch' of today's German but mixtures, for example of Yiddish with Czech, Hungarian, Polish etc.. This means that we have to deal with what may be inventive ad hoc-translations to fit the spoken words into the bureaucratic 'Hochdeutsch' printed form.^] Nevertheless, it is hard to see the scenario where Ida becomes even a daughter in law to this Moses (who seems not to be MosesLoebelCassirer (d. 28 Apr 1837) who died 15 years too early to be the Moses2Cassirer in this record.^]\\

Please note the //Caveat// that in assembling this early Cassirer historical "jigsaw puzzle" we are of course riding over very thin ice. Most of the facts we have elicited here are derived from online sources, without serious scholastic work in relevant libraries. These would ideally be bolstered, tempered, and corrected by one or more scholars who read Hebrew, someone who devotes themselves to reading inscriptions on gravestones, someone knowing Yiddish or Czech (Bohemian and Moravian) and so on.

This is replicated elsewhere. for example, the genealogical work of Edith Tietz[^See [[http://digifindingaids.cjh.org/?pID=482057|Papers of the Cassirer-Tietz Family 1879-1983]], [[http://digital.cjh.org//exlibris/dtl/d3_1/apache_media/L2V4bGlicmlzL2R0bC9kM18xL2FwYWNoZV9tZWRpYS8yMDc5ODYy.pdf|Series 1, Box 1, Folder 8]], Leo Baeck Institute, New York, 2014.^] gives Moses Cassirer (1771-17 Sep 1852) and Eva Fischer (1771-22 Sep 1852) as the parents of Markus.

After the vote there was an amputation of certain counties at the former border in the coal belt around Kattowitz - they voted for Poland. And it's only after that date that the German started speaking of ‘Oberschlesien’ (Upper Silesian) and ‘Niederschlesien’ (Lower Silesian). In an encyclopaedia dating 1905 even the word ‘Oberschlesien’ does not exist. From the actual Polish point of view it sounds as given [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lower_Silesia|here]]. Oberschlesien, for short often “OS” or “O/S”, became a separated part of Silesia also to remind Germany of the forced loss of the rich southwestern “peak” of old Silesia. That’s why Zabrse, now just at the new boundary, was renamed ‘Hindenburg’ (after the famous german marshal of WW I). It was the faked polish invasion in nearby german Gleiwitz which gave Hitler the pretext of starting WW II. Breslau was thus in Silesia, and following 1921 it has always been in Lower Silesia (and even today again in Poland).
Bujakow, where the Cassirer name was adopted by LoebelMosesCassirer, is an interesting very little town (in the “Landkreis Rybnik”) because it is situated halfway between Kattowitz and Rybnik (all three went to Poland after 1920). In the citation from the recollections of Walter Grünfeld it says that as a boy he and his aunt metin 1920 in Kattowitz a large group of Berliner Cassirers, comming from Rybnik, where they had voted (that means I think: the law then forced people to vote for Germany / for Poland at the place where they / their family originated. Perhaps Bujakow was to small to manage such a vote with people from as far as Berlin). So instead of Rybnik Bujakow might have been also one of the places in the Kattowitz region where the Cassirers from Russian Poland / austrian Poland, i.e. Galicia, or Moravia and Hungary, Bessarabia, whatever, first settled.
Bujaków today belongs not to Rybnik but to nearby Mikolów (German: Nicolai). Looking around in modern Bujaków (with google images) it seems that perhaps only 4-5 historical buildings are still at a place where they perhaps were in Cassirer's times. Bujaków and Rybnik both were more or less forced to join Poland in 1922. This ironically meant perhaps that from 1922 to 1939 (when the Nazi army rushed vengefully in) they weren't able to destroy Jewish culture as in the Reich. But then the local culture was hardly conducive to the Cassirer intellectual endeavours. It's more and more likely that the Cassirer moved very quickly after their registration as 'Cassirer' about 1820 in Rybnik. This is also attested to by the comment from a local correspondent.

The Cassirer story in one sense must begin with the invention of the "Cassirer" name. Prior to the adoption of the "surname" (which in different places became mandated in the late C18 and C19) Jews had to that point been named by a [[https://www.familysearch.org/learn/wiki/en/Jewish_Names_Personal|Jewish patronym]] - which usually was created as "son (or daughter) of....". For example the son of Loebel could be named Moses ben Loebel. However, if that left ambiguity then additional physical, occupational, or locational characteristics could be added to form a nickname. Even before it was mandated, as Jews came into closer contact with modern life they found it useful to create a more contemporary style name with a recognisable surname.

Although there are %newwin%[[http://meta-studies.net/genealogy/ZDocs/Webp/Cassirer_name.html|other possible explanations]], in this case Cassirer (or Cassierer, Kassierer, etc) probably usually related to an occupation relating to finances (cashier, or similar).

Ernst was a son of LeopoldCassirer. We find a reference to an [[Main.Ernst1895Cassirer|Ernst Cassirer]] who died in the Shoah. His birth date was 1895 which is consistent, with his mother then being 23 years old. The likelihood is that this is the son of Leopold. In the 1895 Gogolin Address Book we find that Ernst Cassirer is carrying on the lime quarrying and kiln work of his father with the following description: Adressbuch 1895 Gogolin: CASSIRER,ERNST Kalkbrennerei-Werk (limekiln) and CASSIRER,ERNST Steinbruch (quarry).[^[[http://www.bernd-kinzel.de/orte_g-10.htm]] viewed 16 Feb 2013.^] We also find in the same address book a reference to CASSIRER, S.

The Cassirer story in one sense must begin with the invention of the "Cassirer" name. Prior to the adoption of the "surname" (which in different places became mandated in the late C18 and C19) Jews had to that point been named by a [[https://www.familysearch.org/learn/wiki/en/Jewish_Names_Personal|Jewish patronym]] - which usually was created as "son of....". For example the son of Loebel could be named Moses ben Loebel. However, if that left ambiguity then additional physical, occupational, or locational characteristics could be added to form a nickname. Even before it was mandated, as Jews came into closer contact with modern life they found it useful to create a more contemporary style name with a recognisable surname. Often the name chosen was one relating to occupation. In this case Cassirer (or Cassierer, Kassierer, etc) probably usually related to an occupation relating to finances (cashier, or similar). For Prussia - now Germany and parts of Poland - the change of name was mandated from 1812. As Prussia acquired additional territory the requirement was restated, being extended to Posen in 1833 and the rest of the Prussian state in 1845.[^[[https://www.familysearch.org/learn/wiki/en/Jewish_Names_Personal], viewed 10 Feb 2013.^]

MarkusCassirer was born in “[[Bujakow]]” as it is recalled was his father MosesLoebelCassirer and grandfather LoebelMosesCassirer. This is an interesting very little town (in the “Landkreis Rybnik”) because it is situated halfway between Kattowitz and Rybnik (all three went to Poland after 1920). In the citation from the memories of Walter Grünfeld it says that as a boy he and his aunt met in 1920 in Kattowitz a large group of Berliner Cassirers, comming from Rybnik, where they had voted (that means I think: the law then forced people to vote for Germany / for Poland at the place where they / their family originated. Perhaps Bujakow was too small to manage such a vote with people from as far as Berlin). So instead of Rybnik, Bujakow might have been also one of the places in the Kattowitz region where the Cassirers from Russian Poland / austrian Poland, i.e. Galicia, or Moravia and Hungary, Bessarabia, whatever, first settled. More on possible relationships between Bujakow and the early Cassirers (prior to the invention of the Cassirer name) is given [[MorePossibleBujakowConnections|here]].

//Caveat// We are of course here riding over very thin ice. Most of the facts we have elicited here are derived from online sources, without serious scholastic work in relevant libraries. These would ideally be bolstered, tempered, and corrected by one or more scholars who read Hebrew, someone who devotes themselves to reading inscriptions on gravestones, someone knowing Yiddish or Czech (Bohemian and Moravian) and so on. We offer this in the hope that perhaps some such people with appropriate skills might read and add to these discussions, and in this way perhaps help thicken the ice!

In the courseof considering the Cassirer history we are confronted with the historical distinction at one time of [[Silesia]] into Lower Silesia and Upper Silesia. It’s a historico-geographical problem: Silesia belonged up to the middle of the 18th century (1742) to Austria (Habsburg empire), and was after that date until about 1919/20 entirely a Prussian province (with dukes etc.).
After WW I the refounded Poland managed to force Germany and nearby Austria, loosers of this war, to have a referendum in counties with a notable polish minority or even majority about their identity: if they would rather belong to Poland.
After the vote there was an amputation of certain counties at the former border in the coal belt around Kattowitz - they voted for Poland. And its only after that date that the German started speaking of ‘Oberschlesien’ (Upper) and ‘Niederschlesien’ (Lower).
In an encyclopaedia dating 1905 and there even the word ‘Oberschlesien’ does not exist. From the actual Polish point of view it sounds as given here[^[[<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lower_Silesia>]]^]. (The text about upper Silesia is not so informative, at least in the english version, not in the german one.)
Oberschlesien, for short often “OS” or “O/S”, became a separated part of Silesia also to remind Germany offorced loss of the rich southwestern “peak” of old Silesia. That’s why Zabrse, now just at the new boundary, was renamed ‘Hindenburg’ (famous german marshal of WW I) and it was the faked polish invasion in nearby german Gleiwitz which gave Hitler the pretext of starting WW II.

LoebelMosesCassirer (1738-1809) - is recalled as being known as Loebel Moses Bujakow - perhaps being named at birth Loebel Moses ben Jakob (or known simply as Loebel Moses [of] Bujakow) - is recalled to have been a cashier at a Grafen ("estate of a person of high rank") in Bujakow, Silesia.[^See notes for GertrudCassirer; and [[Main.Serck-HanssenAndGoerke|One family - two lines: Loebel Cassirer → the Serck-Hanssen & Goerke families.]]^] His son, MosesLoebelCassirer was the father of MarkusCassirer, also born in Bujakow. However, to understand the challenges, opportunities and thinking of these early Cassirers it is also necessary to understand the context in which they lived. They lived as 'modern' Jews in [[Silesia]] - a historical region of "Central Europe" - but one which had from the point of view of identity, language, politics and culture, undergone a long series of tumultuous changes. This includes its emergence as a Polish province, becoming a possession of Bohemia in 1335, passing with the Bohemian crown to the Austrian Hapsburgs in 1626, being taken by Prussia in 1742, and returned to Poland in the aftermath of WWII in 1945.[^See, for example, [[http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/544097/Silesia|Encyclopaedia Britannica article on the history of Silesia]]^]
In the course of considering the Cassirer history we are confronted with the historical distinction at one time of Silesia into Lower Silesia and Upper Silesia. It’s a historico-geographical problem: As mentioned above, Silesia belonged up to the middle of the 18th century (1742) to the Austrian (Habsburg empire), but was after that date until about 1919/20 entirely a Prussian province (with dukes etc.). After WWI the refounded Poland managed to force Germany and nearby Austria, loosers of this war, to have a referendum in counties with a notable polish minority or even majority about their identity: if they would rather belong to Poland.
After the vote there was an amputation of certain counties at the former border in the coal belt around Kattowitz - they voted for Poland. And its only after that date that the German started speaking of ‘Oberschlesien’ (Upper Silesian) and ‘Niederschlesien’ (Lower Silesian). In an encyclopaedia dating 1905 and there even the word ‘Oberschlesien’ does not exist. From the actual Polish point of view it sounds as given [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lower_Silesia|here]]. Oberschlesien, for short often “OS” or “O/S”, became a separated part of Silesia also to remind Germany of the forced loss of the rich southwestern “peak” of old Silesia. That’s why Zabrse, now just at the new boundary, was renamed ‘Hindenburg’ (after the famous german marshal of WW I). It was the faked polish invasion in nearby german Gleiwitz which gave Hitler the pretext of starting WW II. Breslau was thus in Silesia, and following 1921 it has always been in Lower Silesia (and even today again in Poland).
Bujakow, where the Cassirer name was adopted by LoebelMosesCassirer, is an interesting very little town (in the “Landkreis Rybnik”) because it is situated halfway between Kattowitz and Rybnik (all three went to Poland after 1920).

Bujaków today belongs not to Rybnik but to nearby Mikolów (German: Nicolai). Looking around in modern Bujaków with google images it seems that perhaps only 4-5 historical buildings are still at a place where they perhaps were in Cassirer's times. Bujaków and Rybnik both were more or less forced to join Poland in 1922. This ironically meant perhaps that from 1922 to 1939 (when the Nazi army rushed vengefully in they weren't able to destroy Jewish culture as in the Reich. But then the local culture was hardly conducive to the Cassirer intellectual endeavours. It's more and more likely that the Cassirer moved very quickly after their registration as 'Cassirer' about 1820 in Rybnik. This is also attested to by the comment from a local correspondent.

!!!The social development and geographic movement of the Cassirer family
!!!!The problem of place
The problem is the distinction of Silesia, Lower Silesia and Upper Silesia. It’s a historico-geographical problem: Silesia belonged up to the middle of the 18th century (1742) to Austria (Habsburg empire), and was after that date until about 1919/20 entirely a Prussian province (with dukes etc.).
After WW I the refounded Poland managed to force Germany and nearby Austria, loosers of this war, to have a referendum in counties with a notable polish minority or even majority about their identity: if they would rather belong to Poland.
After the vote there was an amputation of certain counties at the former border in the coal belt around Kattowitz - they voted for Poland. And its only after that date that the German started speaking of ‘Oberschlesien’ (Upper) and ‘Niederschlesien’ (Lower).
In an encyclopaedia dating 1905 and there even the word ‘Oberschlesien’ does not exist. From the actual Polish point of view it sounds as given here[^[[<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lower_Silesia>]]^]. (The text about upper Silesia is not so informative, at least in the english version, not in the german one.)
Oberschlesien, for short often “OS” or “O/S”, became a separated part of Silesia also to remind Germany of the forced loss of the rich southwestern “peak” of old Silesia. That’s why Zabrse, now just at the new boundary, was renamed ‘Hindenburg’ (famous german marshal of WW I) and it was the faked polish invasion in nearby german Gleiwitz which gave Hitler the pretext of starting WW II.
So it’s quite clear that there has never been a “Breslau, Upper Silesia” and after 1921 it has always been in Lower Silesia (and even today again in Poland).
!!!!Challenges for jews.
The problem gets hot at those places, where Cassirers were clever and busy in the 19th century up to 1918 and suddenly were confronted with the unconfortable idea of becoming Polish citizens thus losing the ‘enlightened’ (more or less protestant founded) protection of the Prussian kings (and German Kaiser).
For the now supernationalist/ heavy Catholic Poles the Germanophile jews were fellow-travellers (like in Austrian Galicia - after 1918 ten thousand jews had to flee from there to Vienna and then to Paris, London or the US). So one has to have a close look: Breslau belongs to Lower Silesia only after 1920/21, whereas Kattowitz, Schwientochlowitz or Rybnik are simply Silesia before 1920 and then Polish til 1939 and after 1945, but Gleiwitz, Beuten or ‘Hindenburg’ after 1920/21 are Oberschlesien, Upper Silesia, because people there decided to stay German.
In the “Regierungsbezirk Oppeln” is also the town of Guttentag (~’guten Tag’ = ‘good day’ = ‘hello’, ‘hi’. This ‘guten Tag’, polish ‘dzien dobry’, reappears in the name of the town today: Dobrozien), where Jeanette Steinitz’s mother, a Guttentager, came from, i.e. a jewish name derived from a place, like Posener.) In this “Regierungsbezirk” were also Ziegenhals (Isidor), Oberglogau (Siegfried’s brewery), and up to 1920 also Kattowitz, Schwientochlowitz, Beuthen, Königshütte, Rybnik etc.
!!!!Place and the Cassirers
“Markus Cassirer”: born in “Bujakow”: This is an interesting very little town (in the “Landkreis Rybnik”) because it is situated halfway between Kattowitz and Rybnik (all three went to Poland after 1920). In the citation from the memories of Walter Grünfeld it says that as a boy he and his aunt met in 1920 in Kattowitz a large group of Berliner Cassirers, comming from Rybnik, where they had voted (that means I think: the law then forced people to vote for Germany / for Poland at the place where they / their family originated. Perhaps Bujakow was to small to manage such a vote with people from as far as Berlin). So instead of Rybnik Bujakow might have been also one of the places in the Kattowitz region where the Cassirers from Russian Poland / austrian Poland, i.e. Galicia, or Moravia and Hungary, Bessarabia, whatever, first settled.
!!!!Social Development
Several strands of development will have shaped the Cassirers from the C19 to WWII. One of these was the transition with German Jews becoming Jewish Germans. This started in the 19th century until the fatal outcomes after WW I.
Expat writes: This is entirely speculative: It's somehow like the saying: Of course there must be a balance between nature and humans ... in favour of the humans.

It is possible that panning across the notion of Court Jew to Dukes and even Kaisers and Kings 'down' to Counts and formerly humble Junkers in their woods who became tycoons in the upper Silesian boom period we perhaps will get a hint at the positions where confidants like Cassirer were situated, for example, in Bujakow.

This ‘guten Tag’, polish ‘dzien dobry’, reappears in the name of the town today: Dobrozien), where Jeanette Steinitz’s mother, a Guttentager, came from, i.e. a jewish name derived from a place, like Posener.) In this “Regierungsbezirk” were also Ziegenhals (Isidor), Oberglogau (Siegfried’s brewery), and up to 1920 also Kattowitz, Schwientochlowitz, Beuthen, Königshütte, Rybnik etc.
“Markus Cassirer”: born in “Bujakow”: This is an interesting very little town (in the “Landkreis Rybnik”) because it is situated halfway between Kattowitz and Rybnik (all three went to Poland after 1920). In the citation from the memories of Walter Grünfeld it says that as a boy he and his aunt met in 1920 in Kattowitz a large group of Berliner Cassirers, comming from Rybnik, where they had voted (that means I think: the law then forced people to vote for Germany / for Poland at the place where they / their family originated. Perhaps Bujakow was to small to manage such a vote with people from as far as Berlin). So instead of Rybnik Bujakow might have been also one of the places in the Kattowitz region where the Cassirers from Russian Poland / austrian Poland, i.e. Galicia, or Moravia and Hungary, Bessarabia, whatever, first settled.
!!!!Social Development
The problem is the distinction of Silesia, Lower Silesia and Upper Silesia. It’s a historico-geographical problem: Silesia belonged up to the middle of the 18th century (1742) to Austria (Habsburg empire), and was after that date until about 1919/20 entirely a Prussian province (with dukes etc.).
After WW I the refounded Poland managed to force Germany and nearby Austria, loosers of this war, to have a referendum in counties with a notable polish minority or even majority about their identity: if they would rather belong to Poland.
After the vote there was an amputation of certain counties at the former border in the coal belt around Kattowitz - they voted for Poland. And its only after that date that the German started speaking of ‘Oberschlesien’ (Upper) and ‘Niederschlesien’ (Lower).
I have a encyclopaedia from my father dating 1905 and there even the word ‘Oberschlesien’ does not exist. From the actual Polish point of view it sounds like this: <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lower_Silesia>. (The text about upper Silesia is not so informative, at least in the english version, not in the german one.)
Oberschlesien, for short often “OS” or “O/S”, became a separated part of Silesia also to remind Germany of the forced loss of the rich southwestern “peak” of old Silesia. That’s why Zabrse, now just at the new boundary, was renamed ‘Hindenburg’ (famous german marshal of WW I) and it was the faked polish invasion in nearby german Gleiwitz which gave Hitler the pretext of starting WW II.
So it’s quite clear that there has never been a “Breslau, Upper Silesia” and after 1921 it has always been in Lower Silesia (and even today again in Poland).
The problem gets hot at those places, where Cassirers were clever and busy in the 19th century up to 1918 and suddenly were confronted with the unconfortable idea of becoming Polish citizens thus losing the ‘enlightened’ (more or less protestant founded) protection of the Prussian kings (and German Kaiser).
For the now supernationalist/ heavy Catholic Poles the Germanophile jews were fellow-travellers (like in Austrian Galicia - after 1918 ten thousand jews had to flee from there to Vienna and then to Paris, London or the US). So one has to have a close look: Breslau belongs to Lower Silesia only after 1920/21, whereas Kattowitz, Schwientochlowitz or Rybnik are simply Silesia before 1920 and then Polish til 1939 and after 1945, but Gleiwitz, Beuten or ‘Hindenburg’ after 1920/21 are Oberschlesien, Upper Silesia, because people there decided to stay German.

This ‘guten Tag’, polish ‘dzien dobry’, reappears in the name of the town today: Dobrozien), where Jeanette Steinitz’s mother, a Guttentager, came from, i.e. a jewish name derived from a place, like Posener.) In this “Regierungsbezirk” were also Ziegenhals (Isidor), Oberglogau (Siegfried’s brewery), and up to 1920 also Kattowitz, Schwientochlowitz, Beuthen, Königshütte, Rybnik etc.

Several strands of development will have shaped the Cassirers from the C19 to WWII. One of these was the transition with German Jews becoming Jewish Germans. This started in the 19th century until the fatal outcomes after WW I.
Expat writes: This is entirely speculative: It's somehow like the saying: Of course there must be a balance between nature and humans ... in favour of the humans. I mean over these years there was a slowly growing feeling on both sides: Germans and Jews are in a win-win-situation - in favour of the Germans (because in the beginning foreign Jews should be happy to be in some regular situation at all). Then, in the economic and societal ruins after the lost war 1918 (unfairly lost, they thought) there was a growing suspicion that the balance perhaps had 'worked' the other way around (even during the war!).

!!!More Breslau Connections
here, on p. 8, Cassirer in business in Breslau, 1857:
[[http://www.bibliotekacyfrowa.pl/dlibra/plain-content?id=39766 cyfrowa = cipher = digit(alized)]]
The title of the booklet:
'Verzeichnis saemtlicher Handelstreibenden zu Breslau, welche in Lit. A besteuert sind, der Mitglieder der Handelskammer, deren Stellvertreter und Beamten, der Boersenkommissarien (so wie der [...]) fuer das Jahr 1857, zusammengestellt vom Sekretariat der Handelskammer'
(Inventory of all traders of Breslau, taxed in Lit. A [big, or bigger business, I guess], and of all members of the Chamber of Commerce, their deputies and appointees, the commissioners of the stock exchange (...) for the year 1857, compiled by the office of the Chamber of Commerce)
name of the store/establishment - name(s) of the owner(s) - kind of business - address
Cassirer & Cohn - LouisCassirer, Adolph Cohn - manufacture goods - Bluecherplatz 16
Cassirer broth. - Heymann Cassirer - gold-, silver- and jewel-trade - Am Rathause 14 [At the Town Hall !!]
Joel Cassirer - Joel Cassirer - manufacture goods - Bluecherplatz 12
Cassirer & Friedlaender - Samuel Wilhelm Cassirer, Eduard Friedlaender - banking-, products- and dispatchin-trade - Altbuesserstrasse 61
Bluecherplatz ([[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gebhard_Leberecht_von_Bl%C3%BCcher]]) sounds like a very good address. The Cassirers were moving fast! Only 50-60 years after the 'invention' (speculative) of the name 'Cassirer', a name suitable for a honest/reliable job in Christian business and in Jewish self-administration as well.
