Members of the very spread-out Rothschild family already lived in Homburg in 1649. The house at Louisenstraße 97, built in 1843, was bought by Moritz Rothschild in 1876 at the latest. The Rothschilds acted as financiers for the Blanc brothers as well as financial donors for the construction of the synagogue in 1863. In 1930, banker Louis Rothschild was the chairman of the Jewish community. Moritz Rothschild was dispossessed of his private bank in 1937 during the course of National Socialism's “Aryanization”. The house at Louisenstraße 97 came into the possession of the city at the end of 1938.
