Web Notes notes for Laemmlein Baer Marx HEIDENHEIMER Kohen
1745 - He was born in Schnaittach, Bavaria. Information from Bavarian Matrikel List. His name means "little lamb."
1771 - The following is a summary translated from Hebrew and Yiddish in Acta Communitatis Judaeorum Schnaittach [Records of the Jewish community of Schnaittach] by Meir Hildesheimer, pp 112 - 114. A community meeting was held on Sunday, Nov 1, 1772 regarding reorganizing the community leadership to have 11 officials: 4 administrative chiefs, 2 tax collectors, and 3 land tax collectors. This was a hotly contested issue among the community. Among the leaders encouraging this change was Laemel Baer (note 136). This proposal was not carried.
Translation of footnote 136: Very likely this refers to Laemel Baer Katz, who is listed as one of the exceptional leaders of the community. He is mentioned in property assessment records in 1769 (p 109) to 1807 (p 310). In 1804 he signed an invoice recorded in the assessment records. Oddly, he is never listed in the records as serving in an official capacity. The last mention of him was in 1823 in connection with selling seats in the synagogue.
1773 -His son, Isaac Laemmlein Marx Heidenheimer, was born in Schnaittach. Information from Bavarian Matrikel List.
-Bavaria was concerned that its population of Jews was growing too much. The Jewish birth rate was much higher than the general population. So starting in 1790, Bavaria passed laws that Jews could not marry without permission from the state, and permission was usually withheld until someone died or moved away. If Jews married in a religious ceremony anyway, without civil approval, they were subject to fines, the children were illegitimate, they could not live together in their own home, etc. The laws were reenacted and made stricter over the next several years. Also in the period 1810-1820 there was some anti-Semitic violence in Bavaria. This paragraph is summarized from a lecture I attended at the Jewish Genealogical Society of Greater Washington.
-Regarding the Bavarian Matrikel List: It is not exactly a "census," but rather a permit register. Bavaria at that time was anti-Jew, and had passed many laws restricting the Jews, trying to keep down their numbers. They restricted where Jews could live. One of the laws was that Jews could ONLY live where they had a permit, or "matrikel." No new matrikels were issued, so a person had to wait until a permit became available, usually through the death of the current owner of a permit, to obtain one. This was supposed to keep Jews from marrying and therefore creating more baby Jews, because a newly married couple would have no place to live. There were two kinds of permits, the usual permit or "matrikel," which came into existence about 1809, and "letters of protection", which existed before matrikels.
-Laemmlein is listed in the Bavarian Matrikel List for Schnaittach, on FHL film #GS 1,190,989, p640-left and film #GS 1,190,988, p641-right. It states: His letter of protection was #1510. We do know it is not a permit but a letter of protection, because in the remarks column it says he gave up his protective letter. This means he probably moved, rather than died. Place of residence, Schnaittach, the 37th household on the list. Name of head of household was Laemmlein Baer Marx Heidenheimer, born in Schnaittach in 1745. Date when Laemmlein originally got his protective letter is not given in the 2nd column of the righthand page: instead, it tells you Laemmlein got it on the same date as person # 1 in the list. [Look at this list again next time in Salt Lake City to see what was the date of the letter of protection for person #1]. Occupation: dress materials or yard goods. He gave up his protective letter on 14 May 1821. This means he moved. The person who got Laemmlein's permit or protection letter was Loew Simon Ullmann, who got it on 14 May 1821. This means Loew got to move into Laemmlein's house when Laemmlein moved out. We know Laemmlein moved rather than died, because he is mentioned as selling seats in the synagogue in 1823. He could not have moved far, because he was still active in the Schnaittach synagogue.
