Philippson family

The Philippson family was a German Jewish family with roots in Saxony. The name Philippson was first used by Moses Philippson, the father of rabbi Ludwig Philippson, and was derived from Moses's father's name of Philipp Moses.

Some information from the book Die Philippsons in Bonn: Deutsch-jüdische Schicksalslinien, 1862-1980. Dokumentation einer Ausstellung in der Universitätsbibliothek Bonn, 1989, by Karl Gutzmer (Bonn: Bouvier, 1991) was used in the compiling of this biographical note.
