Heinrich Brunner (1784 \u2013 1867) was born as Henle Wolf in Hohenems. When Jews became obliged to adopt a surname, he took, as did his brother Arnold, the name of Brunner. He became a butcher and cattle dealer like his father and married Helene Marx (1785-1855) of Reckendorf in Bavaria. In accordance with marital divisions of labor common in the early 19th<\/sup> century, Heinrich managed all matters of business outside the home, while Helene was in charge of overseeing the household and the children\u2019s education in line with the religious commandments, but also of representing her husband during his probably frequent extended periods of absence. Heinrich and Helene Brunner had nine children; in the early 1830s, four of them moved to Trieste for good where they founded the Brunners\u2019 Triestine business empire. He probably gave up his occupation as butcher and opened himself a colonial goods store in Trieste in 1836, yet continued living in Hohenems. Here, he was active as council member of the Jewish Community, as chairman of the commission for the poor, and as board director of the burial society of the Hohenems Jewish Community. Being the first \u201cBrunner,\u201d he assumes the role of patriarch on the genealogical tree, which was likely commissioned by his grandson Lucian.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
