Claims Supported by This Source
- The Rothschild family received the title von by Imperial Austrian decree in 1817
- The complicated arrangements for this enormous loan demanded the presence of a Rothschild in Vienna and thus Salomon Mayer (1774-1855), who had been handling Rothschild affairs with Austria, moved to the city and established S M von Rothschild
- Salomon was granted the concession to construct a railway linking Bochnia and Vienna in 1832
- In 1843, Salomon was made a citizen of Vienna and thus became the only Jew entitled to purchase property
- After Salomon's death in 1855, his son Anselm (1803-1874), was the able head of the Viennese House
- Three of Albert's sons, Alphonse (1878-1942), Louis (1882-1955) and Eugène (1884-1976) succeeded him on his death in 1911
