DANNENBERG family
DANNENBERG Origins
According to David BLANK
rmjb at netvision.net.il:
"Actually, there are several other DANNENBERG branches, all of which
seem to have taken the name independently. One is from Falkenberg and
was originally Plaut. Another is the Adelebsen branch. Another branch
came from Gronau, and we know when the name was taken. Another is the
Felsberg branch, which intermarried with the Plaut branch there. Still
another is from Trendelburg (near Adelebsen); One very old branch is from
Ziegenhain, and there are documents showing the family used the DANNENBERG
name in the early 1600's. There are also several other independent
DANNENBERG families in the Hessen area."
According to John DANNENBERG, The name DANNENBERG was first given in the
year 1152.

Aron DANNENBERG was a teacher. He married Jeannette

- Benjamin Aaron DANNENBERG, 26 August 1996
- David Philip DANNENBERG (b. 18 December 1998, Manhattan)
- Jeanette (Anne) (Enne Shprintz)
DANNENBERG. (Born 4 March 1902 Frankfurt. Died 18 October
1986 = 15 Tishrei, Chicago,
buried Oakridge Jewish Cemetery, Block #33, Lot #59.) Wrote to Kaiser
after death of Manfred and Alfred to have remaining brothers
taken off
the front. Kaiser never wrote
back and while her brothers were taken
off the front, this happened only after
Julius was badly wounded.
As a teenager (17-18 years old), worked as a
secretary for Prof. SILZHEIMER, a rare Jew elected to parliament during the
Weimar Republiic. Anne DANNENBERG knew English, French, and German. In
the U.S., she worked as a bookkeeper.
Catherina SPIELMAN, better known to us as Ketchen or Detta
came to work for Minna and Nathan DANNENBERG at the age of 14. It was
traditional for young girls from the country to work in a family in order to
develop the skills they would need to run their own household. Several years
later her family found her a suitor in her rural hometown. Ketchen replied
that she did not need a new family. She already had a family, the DANNENBERG's.
When Jeanette DANNENBERG was married to Carl OPPENHEIMER,
Ketchen came with to help
her run her household. Ketchen remained in the household and raised
Stephen LOEB and Norbert LOEB as Jeanette was widowed, remarried and
immigrated to the United States. Later (around age 90) she expressed the desire
to be buried with the family in the Oakbridge Jewish Cemetery and converted to
Judaism. She already had a great knowledge of Judaism from her life with the
family. In fact she was the one who taught Stephen to say the Shema each night.
She passed away and was buried in the Oakbridge Jewish Cemetery, Hillside, Illinois (Block #28, Lot #31)
around four
years later after eight decades of family devotion.
