Jona Schellekens mailde in mei 2012 de volgende bedenkingen: Ten eerste is de naam van de grootvader van Benedict, laat staan die van zijn grootmoeder, niet bekend.
Ten tweede is er geen enkel bewijs voor dat Benedict de Joodse achternaam Stuckert
Ten derde is er geen enkel bewijs voor dat Benedict in Frankfurt geboren is.
Ik zie dat degene die deze gegevens opgestuurd heeft mijn werk gezien heeft. Helaas heeft diegene gegevens toegevoegd waarvoor geen enkele bron bestaat, behalve dan natuurlijk het internet met de bekende genealogisch virussen.

Hameln 33: Anekdote om sønnens bryllup.
Leder (Parnaas) af det jødiske samfund i Hessen. Hameln 33, note 1: Samuel Stuttgart, who lved in the town of Witzenhausen, was Jewish government represenatative of the whole of the electorate of Hesse, being elected to the office by his fellow jews.
"Benedikt is mentioned for the first time in Kassel in a tax list of 1620. He paid 500 Reichstalern. Three out of ten heads of households paid more than he did (Hallo 1930). Benedikt is not the first Court Banker of the landgraves of Hessen by the name of Goldschmidt. He was preceded by Joseph of the goldener Schwan of Frankfurt am Main, who is mentioned in 1562 with his son Hirsch. Probably he is identical with Joseph Goldschmidt of the Goldener Schwan who is mentioned by Dietz (1988, pp. 145-48). Schnee (1954, p. 318) thinks that Benedikt belongs to the same family as Joseph. “Benedikt Goldschmidt became the founder of the institution of Court Agent in Hessen and the ancestor of the Goldschmidt family which lived in Kassel and which held a leading position among the Court Jews of Kassel before the rise of the House of Rothschild. Benedikt Goldschmidt was banker to the court of the landgraves Moritz (1592-1627), Wilhelm V (1627-1637) and Wilhelm VI (1637-1663). They used him to take care of their financial business in Frankfurt am Main. His financial strength is shown by the fact that he paid 2000 Dollars (Talern) in Gold in advance, which Hessian Jewry had to contribute during the Thirty Years War. At the first general Jewish diet (Judenlandtag) of 1626 Goldschmidt divided this sum among his coreligionists in Oberhessen and Niederhessen. The Court Banker was also the Obervorsteher of the Jews [of Hessen]. As a court official he enjoyed the very important privilege of being released of the burden of having to quarter troops. Benedikt Goldschmidt complained immediately, when the city council of Kassel imposed to quarter troops in his home in spite of his privilege, by appealing to his privilege of 1625 and 1636, for which he had paid 600 Reichsthaler in advance. The landgrave supported his Court Jew and the soldiers were quartered somewhere else. Soon the court agent attracted other coreligionists to Kassel. The town was opposed to this and in 1635 even achieved that all Jews had to leave Kassel. Only Benedikt and his dependents were allowed to stay. ... In 1631 he pleaded his right of ritual slaughter against the butchers’ guild in Kassel and won. ... He died in 1642” (Schnee 1954, pp. 318-19).
Hallo writes about the relationship between Benedict and the local Jewish community. “Only Jews who were in the service of the Court were living, barely visible, in Kassel itself. First among these was Hayum, since 1602 authorized supplier of silver to the mint, and soon after him his rival and the one to replace him later, Benedikt Goldschmidt, a Court Jew in the strict sense. On the other hand, Isaak, Hayum’s son-in-law, the Rabbi, lived in Bettenhausen, perhaps also from 1602. He would come to the town for prayer services or – as Benedikt called it in 1622 – “to our Shul”, which as far as known for these years, was located in the house of Jost Riemers in the important Marktgasse” (Hallo 1931, p. 12). “The documents which have been preserved show clearly how serious friction developed between the two groups, the party of Rabbi Isaak in Bettenhausen and the Rabbi of Friedberg who sometimes cooperated with him, on the one hand, and the government-supported party of Benedikt the Jew, known as Goldschmidt, on the other hand. The friction was not in the least caused by the fact that Isaak used his sermons in the synagogue ... for angry attacks on Goldschmidt. He accused him of being a “traitor” of the Jews to the government. While the outcome of the many insulting quarrels is not known anymore, two results are clear: first the undisputed victory of the Goldschmidts, which was crowned by the expulsion of all other Jews from Kassel in 1635, because the State cared more about the economic power of its Jews than their religious discipline; and second, although almost useless, the order of 1625, to appoint an officially recognized Hessian Rabbi. This order probably took into consideration the for the State irritating interference of the Rabbis of Fulda and Friedberg with Hessian Jewish affairs. One can guess that the role of Rabbi in Bettenhausen was finished after this. It is unknown, whether it was considered to have the official Rabbi reside in Kassel. Anyhow, in 1656 he resided in Witzenhausen. Because of the isolation of the Goldschmidts, there was no chance of having a synagogue in Kassel. Numerically, these Jews at the Court were just not strong enough to gather the ten adults necessary for the service. Moreover, the possibility that they would voluntarily subordinate themselves to a Rabbi in Kassel can be ruled out in the case of this family of “self-made regents”, as Isaak called Benedikt in 1622” (Hallo 1931, pp. 12-13).

There is an early tombstone in Bettenhausen (B119) of a Moshe Baruch ben Moshe Jehuda Segal. The date cannot be read anymore. Next to him lies Röschen, housewife of ... who died in 1647. The name of her husband is illegible now, but the proximity strongly suggests that she is Moshe Baruch’s wife. The early date suggests that Moshe Baruch is no one else but Benedict Goldschmidt. Moreover, on the tombstone of his son Abraham (Bettenhausen B442b) Benedict is also called Moses Baruch. Apparently, he went through another change of name after a serious illness. Most probably, his father’s name is Jehuda, to which Moses was appended after an illness. (Schelleken)

Meir Kassel (Dietz: Meyer Goldschmidt von Kasselz, Schudt: Baumeister Meyer Goldschmid) war Wechsler. Laut Dietz heiratete er am 27.12.1634 Bella (Dietz: Bölgen) Buchsbaum und wohnte (ET) im Haus Birnbaum, bzw. im Haus Birnbaum und im Haus Buchsbaum (Dietz). Die Darstellung des Baumes auf dem Stein stellt eines dieser Bäume dar. 1660 wurde Kassels Vermögen auf 10,000 Gulden eingeschätzt. (Steinheim)
Parnas -- also mentioned as Meyer Buchsbaum-Kassel. 1660 his fortune was estmated at 10000 florins.
“Meyer Goldschmidt was a money changer from Kassel. He lived at the Buchsbaum and the Birnbaum (next door to the Einhorn). Jewish records show him as Buchsbaum-Kassel and the son of Benedict (Baruch). He was given right of residence on 27 December 1634 when he married Bölgen Buchsbaum (daughter of Anselm at the Buchsbaum). In 1658 Meyer was the business partner of Moses at the Armbrust and Johann at the Schwert. In 1660 his capital was estimated at 10,000 guilders. He died in 1667 and was then a respected leading businessman. He was the forefather of the Goldschmidt-Kassel family which was extent in the nineteenth century” (Dietz 1988, p. 149). Dietz did not know the father of Meyer. A document of 1655 mentions “Meyer Goldschmidt’s brother Simon Goldschmidt in Kassel” (CAHJP, notes of Daniel Cohen). Further evidence for him being a son of Benedict Goldschmidt of Kassel is supplied by Duckesz (1938, p 936): “Meier Goldschmidt Cassel in Frankfurt am Main is mentioned as Meier Bendit Cassel in the local Chewra-Buch and is given the additional name of Stuckart, like his daughter.” For their descendants see Dietz (1988) and Cibella and Baron (1998).

"Every morning he rose at three and wrapped in talith [prayer shawl], he sat in his room next to my chamber studying and chanting Talmud in the ususal sing-song" (Glückel von Hameln, 33)

He sent us here, to Hamburg, two big barrels of linenware, in them were all kinds of food, peas, smoked meat, all sorts of dried fruit - that could keep without going bad.

Duckesz (1938, p. 936) thinks that Lewin was a son of Benedikt of Kassel, because “Baruch Bendit Goldschmidt a son of Levin Goldschmidt from Hannover living in Hamburg had children and grandchildren in Altona who carry the name Stuckart or Stuckert in the Chewrabuch.” Lewin “erected a synagogue in his house in 1688, in which he served as cantor, as told in the Memorbuch, and ... he also helped convince the Duke issue an edict to protect the cemetery. The picture of Esther drawn by Glückel is of a very pious and Godfearing woman. She died young on March 31, 1675. Her tombstone is the second oldest in the cemetery” (Gronemann 1913, p. 19). Glückel writes: “The sixth child [of Joseph Hameln] was his daughter Esther, the pattern of piety and womanly virtues. She underwent more than her share of troubles, yet her patience never flagged, to the moment she breathed her pure soul away” (Hameln 1977, p. 32).

Simon is mentioned for the first time in the 1625 list of Jews in Kassel (CAHJP, HM 2553). “Simon Goldschmidt succeded his father as Court Jew. He also held the position of Obervorsteher of the Jews of [Hessen-]Kassel. His position at the court in Kassel is characterized by the fact, that he presented two crystal lights to Wilhelm VI as a New Year’s gift in 1656. In return he received money. This is one of the few cases in the history of the court agents in which the ruler of a country and a Court Jew exchanged gifts. Simon Goldschmidt was a Court Banker like his father. From a complaint by the Goldschmidts in the year 1652 it is clear that Simon also held the position of Court Jeweller. ... As a mint entrepeneur he supplied silver for the coins of the landgrave. Simon Goldschmidt and his servants were exempted from paying the personal toll and could pass freely. The court agent payed two guilders for this right every year. On May 8, 1651, landgrave Wilhelm VI confirmed this privilege which had been granted to the Court Jew by his mother Amalie Elisabeth. ... Simon died in 1658. His son Hertz Goldschmidt received his father’s letter of protection on October 12, 1658, but not his privilege of supplying silver to the mint. Benedikt Goldschmidt’s grandson had become a simple ‘protected Jew’ (Schutzjude). However, in the community of his coreligionists in [Hessen-]Kassel he became Obervorsteher” (Schnee 1954, p. 319). Parnas (menighedsforstander).
“In 1645 Simon Goldschmidt asks the landcountess to evict the competition from Amsterdam in Kassel” (Hallo 1931, p. 103). “... the ever more strongly rooted and growing family Goldschmidt expanded its own private religious services. With its own inflexible energy it even dared to ask for their official recognition! In 1649 a fine was imposed, because a few Jews had held public synagoge services several times in a house of their landlord. Some of these had stayed overnight in the fortress Kassel, although they did not live there. But in spite of the detention of 16 pious men in the house of Simon and the resulting expulsion of the Rabbi from the country ... Simon Goldschmidt was already able to ask for a written confirmation for his ‘private conventicle’ in 1651. ...The Goldschmidt house, “am Judenbrunnen 10” became a center for the cultural life in Kassel ... (Hallo 1931, p. 13).
“In 1652 Simon Goldschmidt and his housewife Gütel exchanged their garden outside the Annabergertor with the citizen Matthias Hüser and his wife Gertrud. Instead they received a meadow in the Unterneustadt, which Goldschmidt had acquired from Johann Heinrich Hund (source collection from the municipal archives H 366)” (Horwitz c. 1930, p. 70). “Around 1660 the Hessian leader (Landvorsteher) Mos. Sim. b. Baruch levi” is mentioned in the Memorbuch of Fulda (Weinberg 1924, p. 261). (Schelleken)

"Hallo (1931, plate XXI) shows a tombstone from Bettenhausen of Yittele bat Wolf, the wife of Simon Segal, who died shortly before 1700. He thinks that Yittele is a daughter of Wolff Traube (p. 79). However, he does not provide any evidence for her being a daughter of Rabbi Wolff Traube (died 1712) other than the first name of her father. Moreover, she belongs to the same generation as Wolf Traub, if not an earlier one. Daniel Cohen reads the Hebrew year 5418 instead of 5458. Closer inspection of the photograph of the tombstone shows Cohen to be right. Hallo read a nun instead of a yod. Apparently, the tombstone has disappeared, because it does not occur on the list of the Jewish cemetery of Kassel in Bettenhausen. Hallo (1931, plate XX) also shows the tombstone of a Hendel, the wife of Simon Kassel z”l, who was burried in Bettenhausen in 1685. He identifies her as a wife of Simon Goldschmidt.

After the death of Simon (1658), Abraham functioned as Obervorsteher of the Jewish community in Hessen until his death on 28 VIII 1676 (Cohen 1996, p. 442). “Hirtz, ... , is one of three Jews, besides Abraham Goldschmidt and one Salomon, who had ‘letters of protection’ in Kassel in 1664” (Hallo 1930). “Abraham, ‘the Jew who lived on the Pferdemarkt’, died in 1675 according to the Arnoldschen Chronik in the Landesbibliothek” (Hallo 1930).
