The Bischoffsheim family is a family of German-Belgian Jewish descent known for success in banking. It can be traced back to Raphaël Nathan Bischoffsheim, an army contractor native of Tauberbischofsheim, in the Electorate of Mainz.[1] The family was particularly interwoven with the Goldschmidt family of Frankfurt am Main; the two families intermarried over the generations, and conjointly managed Bischoffsheim, Goldschmidt & Cie bank, which they eventually merged into Banque de Crédit et de Dépôt des Pays-Bas in 1863.[2][3]
