Life and career
Wilhelm Carl von Rothschild was the son of Baron
Anselm von Rothschild, a chief of the Vienna House of Rothschilds in 1849. The couple first resided in the Rothschild house on the Zeil (Zeilpalast), but later moved to a palace in Grüneburg, and also lived in a villa in Königstein im Taunus.[1] They had three daughters, two of which survived to adulthood.[2][3] Adelheid von Rothschild married her cousin Edmond James de Rothschild, while her younger sister Minna Caroline Rothschild married Maximilian Goldschmidt
, who adopted the name "Goldschmidt-Rothschild" after Wilhelm Carl's death in 1901.
In 1855 von Rothschild became joint head with his brother Mayer Karl of M. A. Rothschild & Söhne in Frankfurt. When his brother died in 1886, he became sole head. As he and his brother left no male heirs, the Frankfurt house was discontinued at his death.[2]
Von Rothschild, who was religious his entire life, was eulogized by Eliyahu David Rabinowitz-Teomim at the Yeshivas Knesses Beis Yitzchak-Kaminetz in Kaunas as הצדיק השר הטפסר (the righteous, the nobleman, the aristocracy).[4]
