| Biographical data |
| Name: Silberschmidt, Hirsch Hermann |
| Born: 15 May 1801 |
| Died: 9 May 1866 |
| |
| Notes: |
| Gaige has his date of death as 9 May 1866, but the Schachzeitung of 1867 and Illustrirte Zeitung of 21 Sep. 1867 still list him as the contact person for the Braunschweig club. The Philadelphia Daily Evening Bulletin of 14 May 1864 has a game by an 'H. Silberschmidt' against G. Hammond in Boston. Is this the German player of many years earlier? |
