In 1743, in Frankfurt, Germany, Amschel Moses Bauer opened a “Counting House.” Over the shop, he placed a sign featuring a Roman eagle and a red shield. The shop became known as the “Red Shield Firm” or, in German, “Rothschild.”
When his son, Mayer Amschel Bauer, inherited the business, he decided to change his name to Rothschild. Mayer Amschel Rothschild soon learned that loaning money to nations was a far more lucrative business than loaning money to individuals, as the loans were secured by taxes.
Mayer Rothschild had five sons. He trained them all in the business and then sent them to major capitals across Europe. His first son, Amschel Mayer Jr., stayed in Frankfurt to tend the founding bank. His second son, Solomon, was sent to Vienna, Austria. His third son, Nathan, the most clever, was sent to the City of London, the financial center of the time. His fourth son, Carl, went to Naples, Italy, and his fifth son, Jakob (later changed his name to James), went to Paris, France.
In 1785, Mayer Rothschild moved his entire family (excluding his sons) to a five-story building in Frankfurt, Germany, known as the “Green Shield” building. The bottom floor was shared with and occupied by the Schiff family.
Shortly after the French Revolution in 1799, the Rothschild family began lending money and gold to the British during the Napoleonic Wars. They supplied gold to the Duke of Wellington's troops, which helped prevent the armies from defeat. Nathan Mayer Rothschild is said to have been the first person in London to learn of Wellington's victory. He used this information about Napoleon’s defeat to spread misinformation about Napoleon’s victory across Europe, manipulating the markets at the London Stock Exchange into a selling frenzy. Rothschild then bought up as much as he could in the short period before the truth became known—that Napoleon had actually lost at Waterloo and that his reign had ended.
