About Samuel Liepmann Loewen

https://digifindingaids.cjh.org/?pID=481499

Samuel Liepmann Loewen was born in Potsdam in 1747. By the age of 14 his father, Moses Liepmann, had died and Samuel Liepmann Loewen was sent to Hamburg by his relative, the banker Daniel Itzig of Berlin, to learn banking. At the age of eighteen Samuel went to Berlin, where he lived in the house of Daniel Itzig. Upon the recommendation of Daniel Itzig and in spite of his young age he was made responsible for Prussia's salt trade and the acquisition of salt in the East Prussian towns of Königsberg, Elbing, Memel and Libau. He acquired permission (General-Privilegium) for him to settle in Königsberg, along with one of Daniel Itzig's daughters, who was to be his wife. However, due to a bad business deal, this marriage did not occur. Samuel returned to Königsberg, where he began to study medicine, but gave up his studies after three semesters and returned to his family in Potsdam due to the illness and subsequent death of his mother. He then went to Berlin, where he established a business in accessories (Galanteriewaren) and jewels in Berlin. In 1795 he married Sara Heym (Hayum) of Mannheim. In 1803 their son Liepmann (Leopold) was born in Berlin. He would become a dealer in millinery. In 1841 Liepmann married Bertha Leffmann of Berlin. In 1848 they had a son, Gustav Samuel.
