Both came from traditional families have their roots be traced through many generations. Especially the Bodenheimer family played a very prominent role in the Jewish community in the Darmstadt / Starkenburg area. Thus, the grandfather of Bernhard Bodenheimer, Herz Bodenheimer, was instrumental in the founding of the "Israelitische Religionsgesellschaft Darmstadt" and belonged to their first board. But other members of the family took important roles in the local community and also engaged financially in the construction of the Darmstadt Synagogue in 1873.[2] This was possible because it was the grandfather with the established wholesale business in 1868 succeeded for cereals and groceries to lay a secure economic foundation for the large family. In addition to the import of tea and coffee, which was further processed in its own roasting, they increasingly took up domestic agricultural products in the trade. For many years also the Hessian military belonged to the large clientele of the company.

What precise inheritance regulation had been made at the time after the death of the company founder could no longer be determined with certainty. But after the death of Herz Bodenheimer the company was probably continued by the sons together, later by Simon alone.
