About David Arthur Pollak

An orthodox, wealthy linen merchant and property owner.

Fought in the home guard in the 1848 Revolution. The rifles he used were kept in the cellar of his house. One day whilst playing cards in the garden, he got a severe stomach pain, went into the house, applied a "Prisnitz" compress named after the famous Austrian physician of the same name and returned to the card game. The next day he died of a severe chill (Presumably the compress was too cold).

One of the belated consequences of the 1848 revolution was the permission granted in 1852 to establish a Jewish Community of Vienna (“Israelitische Kultusgemeinde”). David and Regine where amongst the first members of this community.

His address (home) at the time of his death: Grosse Schiffgasse 6 (next to the orthodox synagogue he and his wife helped funding).

His tomb is next to his wife Regine's.
