He opened a shop in the Judengasse in Frankfurt am Main in 1750, in which he carried out various types of business—exchange, goldsmithing, and textiles. Over the shop, he hung a red sign, from which his son Mayer Amschel Rothschild took his adopted name, which became famous as the name of the premier banking and finance family of Europe.
