Joseph von Maier ( Hebrew: יוסף בן מאיר; 27 April 1797 – 19 August 1873) was a German rabbi, who served as Oberkirchenrath ('High Consistorial Councillor') of the Kingdom of Württemberg. [2]
Joseph Maier Rosenthal was born to Sara ( née Lazarus) and Meier Rosenthal in 1797 in the town of Laudenbach-Fruchtlingen, near Bad Mergentheim. He attended ḥeder as a child, and went on to become a pupil at the yeshivas of Fürth and Mainz. [3]
From the 1820s, he began working as a religious teacher, eventually in Frankfurt. After receiving his rabbinical ordination in 1827, he worked as Hausrabbiner (private rabbi) to the Kaulla banking family in Stuttgart. [3] In 1832 he became Bezirksrabbiner (district rabbi) of that town, a position he held until his death. [4] He was president of the first rabbinical conference held at Brunswick in 1844, and he was also a member of the Jewish Consistory of Württemberg. [5]
In recognition of religious and philanthropic activities, he was ennobled by King Charles of Württemberg on his seventieth birthday in 1867, and decorated with the Ritterkreuz des Württembergischen Kronordens. [1] This gave him the distinction of being the first German rabbi belonging to the nobility. [6]
