- He was in fact the first of the brothers to establish a business centre away from Frankfurt, but his stay in Cassel in 1805 proved only temporary
- In 1814 Amschel spent an uncomfortable few months in Berlin, handling subsidy payments to Britain's allies during the Napoleonic wars
- Amschel married Eva Hanau on 16 November 1796 … their union produced no children, to Amschel's great sorrow. The sons of his brother, Carl, inherited the Frankfurt business from him
