Mannaberg-Meitner Family Collection. 1828-1917

The Mannaberg-Meitner Family collection documents the nineteenth century history of the Mannaberg and Meitner families, who were linked by the marriage of Joseph Mannaberg to Rosalia Meitner. Financial records document the real estate and business dealings of the Mannaberg family, and personal papers document the history of Meitner family and the courtship, engagement, and wedding of Joseph Mannaberg and Rosalia Meitner, as well as those of Rosalia's siblings. The correspondence series extends the collection into the twentieth century with letters from several descendents of Joseph Mannaberg and Rosalia Meitner. The largest series consists of a collection of prayer books, and in particular the Machzor books dating to Joseph Mannaberg's youth contain many annotations and marginalia written by several generations of Mannabergs, up to about the 1920s.The Mannaberg family appear to have been landlords who lived and worked in Moravia, with especially strong links to Wschechowitz (today Všecovice, Czech Republic). Joseph Mannaberg's school notebooks and writings indicate an interest in chemistry.The father of Rosalie Meitner, Menachem (Mandel) Meitner, was an ordained rabbi and ritual slaughterer, like his father Itzig (or Yitzchak) Meitner. Mandel Meitner was married in 1835 to Sarel Ber. Their daughter Rosalia (Reizel) Meitner married Joseph Mannaberg, son of Simon (Sh'imon) Mannaberg, in 1862 in Plsen. Rosalia was a close ancestor of Lise Meitner, a prominent physicist whose work with Otto Hahn from 1917-1938 laid the groundwork for human-controlled atomic fission, and ultimately nuclear energy and warfare.Inventory available in folder 1/1Detailed inventory of correspondence with partial translations also available in folder 1/1Folders with Machzor books also contain partial translations of their marginaliaPhotographs removed to Photograph CollectiondigitizedMeitner, Lise, 1878-1968Professions and occupations; physicist
