In June 1832 Salomon Tuchmann married Jette Reichenberger from Floß; their parents on both sides (Jette's parents were called Moses, son of Nathan Reichenberger, born 1765, died March 30, 1842 and Gella, born Steinhard, born 1789, died November 30, 1869) already had a business relationship. The wedding took place in the "Golden Swan" in Nuremberg at Theresienplatz (this inn was called "The Swan" in the family and for many years it was the Tuchmanns' drop‐off and goods depot). Family lore has it that this marriage did not come together for a long time and Salomon had to ask for Jette's hand in marriage three times. His letters of marriage are said to still exist, but unfortunately they were not accessible to me. In any case, the marriage turned out to be extremely happy. Jette Tuchmann was not beautiful, but as the letters she left behind, she was a clever, kind‐hearted woman, a true philosopher and she loved, as she always writes, her husband "stronger than he himself". In doing so, she also proved to be very enterprising; when Salomon was on the road, she not only looked after the household and the children, she also had the fields properly tilled, kept the books and kept her husband informed of all business matters in her letters. ‐ On January 1st, 1833, a new business contract was agreed between father Marx and Salomon Tuchmann, which improved the financial situation of the latter. The busineß developed splendidly and in 1844 Salomon had already saved so much that he was able to build his own house in Ühlfeld (No. 81). This construction was understandable; he already had 4 sons and his father's house was still full of family members. Salomon had also inherited his father's enthusiasm and talent for building. ‐ He continued to travel a lot and was on the road most of the time; The following trade certificate comes from this time:

The Salomon Tuchmann from Ühlfeld, resident there, is hereby certified for the purpose of his legitimation with the relevant authorities of the customs union, states that he pays the taxes legally existing in this country from the hop and wool trade in which he travels. This certificate is valid for 1 year.

Later on, Joseph, the eldest son, also helped in the business and was already called upon to go on smaller business trips at the age of 13. At the age of 14, he came to the Wolfram Institute in Bamberg. His mother was very attached to him, as can be seen from the following letter to her husband:

I have had several letters from dear Joseph. It is just as if I had to expect a letter from the one I loved most in my youth ‐ but it is good, because one can find a substitute for the troubles and worries one has for children. God only let him be well. This week he sent me confectionery, which I will forbid myself in the future.

This speaks for the thriftiness and modesty of Jette; with Salomon these qualities seem to have been even more pronounced and bordered on stinginess. At least his siblings, especially Moritz, often mocked him in this respect in letters. But his iron diligence and his efficiency, combined with this quality, brought him forward, so that finally his business flourished and he became one of the most respected Jewish citizens of Nuremberg ‐ Salomon soon realised that it would be best for his business to move more to the hop trading centre, to Nuremberg, Also, like his brother Philipp, anti-Semitism drove him out of Ühlfeld, the most hostile place in Middle Franconia today. Since at that time the city of Nuremberg was still closed to Jews as a permanent residence, Salomon moved to Fürth at the beginning of April 1848 and submitted the following application for residency:

According to the certificate of the Royal District Court of Neustadt ⁄ Aisch of August 9, 1833, I have been accepted as a master toolmaker in the market town of Ühlfeld and intend to move here in the same capacity, since there is not yet a toolmaker in this town and here, of course, a much larger field of activity opens up for such a toolmaker than could be the case in the market town of Ühlfeld. With regard to my family circumstances, I only have to mention that I am married to
