German rabbi
Joseph von Maier (
Hebrew : יוסף בן מאיר ; 27 April 1797 – 19 August 1873) was a German rabbi, who served as
Oberkirchenrath ('High Consistorial Councillor') of the
Kingdom of Württemberg .
[2]
Joseph Maier Rosenthal was born to Sara (
née Lazarus ) and Meier Rosenthal in 1797 in the town of
Laudenbach-Fruchtlingen , near
Bad Mergentheim . He attended
ḥeder as a child, and went on to become a pupil at the
yeshivas of
Fürth and
Mainz .
[3]
From the 1820s, he began working as a religious teacher, eventually in
Frankfurt . After receiving his rabbinical ordination in 1827, he worked as Hausrabbiner (private rabbi) to the Kaulla banking family in Stuttgart.
[3] In 1832 he became Bezirksrabbiner (district rabbi) of that town, a position he held until his death.
[4] He was president of the first rabbinical conference held at
Brunswick in 1844, and he was also a member of the
Jewish Consistory of
Württemberg .
[5]
In recognition of religious and philanthropic activities, he was
ennobled by King
Charles of Württemberg on his seventieth birthday in 1867, and decorated with the
Ritterkreuz des Württembergischen Kronordens .
[1] This gave him the distinction of being the first German rabbi belonging to the nobility.
