The House of Rothschild had its financial beginnings in the in Judengasse (Jew Alley) of Frankfurt am Main, Germany. Mayer Amschel Rothschild has been called the founder of international finance.

The Rothschild coat of arms was given by the Habsburg College of Heralds in 1822. The five arrows depicted on the shield represent the five Rothschild brothers which were sent to various locations throughout Europe by their father Mayer Amschel Rothschild to grow their family banking business.


Here is a more modern version of the coat of arms of the Rothschild family. The star of David can be seen in the top left of the arms, representing the family's strong Jewish faith.


The three words below the shield of the coat of arms are Concordia, Integritas, Industria which translate to Harmony, Integrity, Industry.

They (the Rothschilds) have never dreamed of being ashamed of their wealth nor of disguising their way of life, no more than they have ever failed to assume their roles and responsibilities as Jews.

Although one never really knows what one's associates think of one deep down, I believe I was easy to work with, even though I have the reputation of being authoritative. Still, I've always delegated responsibility and authority to other; I've always listened to opposing views and suggestions with an open mind.
