The family had 12 children, including James Fränkel, who was one of the co-founders of psychotherapy in Berlin and established a hospital, the Berolinum. Max Fraenkel built six important buildings in Berlin, including his brother’s hospital and a house at Meinekestraße 10, where the most important Jewish institutions were located from 1924 to 1941. The Palestine Office of the Jewish Agency, the Zionist Association for Germany, the Jüdische Rundschau and other Zionist organizations were located in this building.”
