<strong>the</strong> llluminati 189 was one of <strong>the</strong> main sponsors of <strong>the</strong> Vienna<br />

Asiatic Brethren Lodge until his death in 1792. 190<br />

The Rothschilds utilized <strong>the</strong> services of Sigmund<br />

Geisenheimer, <strong>the</strong>ir head clerk, 191 who in turn was aided by<br />

Itzig of Berlin, <strong>the</strong> llluminati of <strong>the</strong> Toleranz Lodge 192 and <strong>the</strong><br />

Parisian Grand Orient Lodge. 193 Geisenheimer was a member<br />

of <strong>the</strong> Mayence Masonic llluminati Lodge, 194 and was <strong>the</strong><br />

founder of <strong>the</strong> Frankfurt Judenloge 195 for which attempt he<br />

was excommunicated by <strong>the</strong> Chief Rabbi of Frankfurt, Tzvi<br />

Hirsch Horowitz. 196 At a later date <strong>the</strong> Rothschilds joined <strong>the</strong><br />

Lodge. Solomon Mayer (or Meir) Rothschild (1774-1855) was<br />

five Rothschild children, was eighteen and James, <strong>the</strong><br />

youngest, had not as yet been born.<br />

During <strong>the</strong> Frankfurt Lodge's formative years, <strong>the</strong> three<br />

most active members of <strong>the</strong> Frankfurt Judenloge, were<br />

Geisenheimer, Michael Hess (1782-1860) and Justus Hiller. 199<br />

Michael Hess was hired by Mayer Amschel Rothschild<br />

(1744-1812) as a tu<strong>to</strong>r for his children. 200 Hess also tried <strong>to</strong><br />

close a Jewish religious school in 1816.<br />

Sigmund Geisenheimer "distinguished" himself as a founder<br />

of Philanthropin, <strong>the</strong> first school of Reform Judaism. The<br />

Frankfurt Judenloge was <strong>the</strong> headquarters of leaders of <strong>the</strong><br />

early Reform movement, including Michael Hess himself,<br />

Michael Creizenbach, <strong>the</strong> his<strong>to</strong>rian Marcus Jost, and Jacob<br />

Auerbach, who aided Lillienthal in his aborted campaign<br />

against Russian Jewry.<br />
