Emanuel Lehman (born Mendel Lehmann; February 15, 1827 – January 10, 1907) was a German-born American banker. The younger brother of Henry Lehman, he was a co-founder of Lehman Brothers.[1]
Emanuel Lehman was born in Rimpar, Bavaria on February 15, 1827, the son of Eva (Rosenheim) and Abraham Lehmann, a cattle merchant.[2] He traveled to the United States in 1847 to join his brother Henry in business.[3]
He married Pauline Sondheim in May 1859, and they had four children. His wife died in 1871.[3]
In 1897, he donated $100,000 (equivalent to $3.3 million in 2022) to the Hebrew Orphan Asylum of New York, under the condition "to enlarge and perpetuate its usefulness."[5] In May 1859, he married Pauline Sondheim, daughter of Louis Sondheim of New York. Pauline died in 1871. They had four children: Milton Lehman; Philip Lehman, a partner in the firm; Harriet Philip Lehman, and Evelyn Philip Lehman.[6] He was of Jewish background.[3]
