Zacharias OPPENHEIMER (b. 1 October 1773 Michelfeld, Baden, Germany, d. 24 February 1827 Michelfeld) married cousin Fratel OPPENHEIMER (b. 6 November 1771 Hoffenheim, d. 11 December 1842 Michelfeld). Zacharias founded the woolen cloth factory in Michelfeld. The factory specialized in the production of uniforms, including those used by the Prussian and Baden military. By a constitutional edict became a town citizen, thereby gaining all the civil rights, an exception among Jews.

By 1890 they had over 550 children, grandchildren, and a few great grandchildren.
