About David Mayer

https://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=179040932

David Mayer was the head of the Jewish community in their hometown of Prenzlau, Germany.

The family had been in the wool wholesale and trade business since 1828 in the city of Prenzlau, Germany, doing business under the name of the founding father, "Ascher Mayer"



In a letter to his parents, Karl Jaspers reported on his conversations and impressions of his new in-laws, David and Clara Mayer, the parents of his wife Gertrud Mayer.

He called David Mayer a "very fine person who proves by his manner of expression and topic of conversation that he is an educated individual." Jaspers further reported that David Mayer rarely left Prenzlau and had always been in the wholesale wood trade, yes his horizons were broad and he was the "soul of the business"

Gertrude Mayer's mother, Clara, was described as an attentive housewife, who preferred to remain in the background due to modesty.

According to Karl Jaspers, David Mayer was reported to have remarked upon Jasper's personality to Gertrud: "He is such a dear, pleasant individual -- oh, if only he were Jewish!"
