Frederick Trump (born Friedrich Trump, Шаблон:IPA-de; March 14, 1869 – May 30, 1918) was a German-born American barber and businessman. He was the patriarch of the Trump family and the paternal grandfather of Donald Trump, the 45th president of the United States.

Born and raised in Kallstadt in what was then the Kingdom of Bavaria, Trump immigrated to the United States in 1885. In 1891, he began speculating in real estate in Seattle. During the Klondike Gold Rush, he moved to the Yukon and made his fortune by operating a restaurant and a brothel for miners in Whitehorse.[1][2]

In 1901, Trump returned to Kallstadt and married Elisabeth Christ. As he had purportedly immigrated to the United States in order to evade conscription, the Bavarian Government stripped him of his citizenship in 1905. As a result, he returned to the United States with his family.

Trump worked as a barber and manager of a hotel and was beginning to acquire real estate in Queens when he died in the 1918 flu pandemic.

Friedrich Trump, 1887

Friedrich Heinrich Trump[3]Шаблон:Better source needed was born in Kallstadt in the Palatinate (then part of the Kingdom of Bavaria) to Christian Johannes Trump (1829–1877) and Katharina Kober (1836–1922).[4]Шаблон:Rp Confessionally, the village was Lutheran.[4]Шаблон:Rp

Trump's earliest known male ancestor is Johann Philipp Drumpft or Trump (1667–1707, parents or place of birth not recorded), who married Juliana Maria Rodenroth.[5]Шаблон:Better source needed The couple had a son, Johann Sebastian Trump (1699–1756). Johann Sebastian's son Johann Paul Trump (1727–1792) was born in Bobenheim am Berg.[6]Шаблон:Better source needed

The first link to Kallstadt can be established for Johann Sebastian's grandson Johannes Trump (1789–1836) who was born in Bobenheim am Berg and married in Kallstadt, where he also died.[7][8]Шаблон:Better source needed The Palatinate, then a relatively impoverished region, has been known for its viticulture since the Roman Empire.

From 1816 to 1918, when Bavaria became the Free State of Bavaria, the Palatinate was part of the Kingdom of Bavaria. In 1871, Bavaria became a part of the newly formed German Empire. During periods of war and anti-German discrimination in the United States, Trump's son Fred later denied his German heritage, claiming his father had been a Swede from Karlstad, Sweden.[9] This version was repeated by Fred's son Donald in his 1987 autobiography.[10]

After being sick with emphysema for 10 years, Trump's father, Christian Johannes, died on July 6, 1877, at the age of 48, leaving the family in severe debt from medical expenses.[4]Шаблон:Rp While five of the six children worked in the family grape fields, Friedrich was considered too sickly to endure such hard labor.[4]Шаблон:Rp In 1883, then aged 14, he was sent to nearby Frankenthal by his mother to work as a barber's apprentice and learn the trade.

Trump worked seven days a week for two and a half years under barber Friedrich Lang. After completing his apprenticeship, he returned to Kallstadt, a village with about 1,000 inhabitants. He quickly discovered there was not enough business to earn a living. He was also approaching the age of eligibility for conscription to military service in the Imperial German Army. He quickly decided to immigrate to the United States, later saying, "I agreed with my mother that I should go to America."[4]Шаблон:Rp Years later, his family members said that he departed secretly at night, leaving his mother a note.[4]Шаблон:Rp As a result of Trump fleeing mandatory conscription required of all citizens, a royal decree was later issued banishing him from the country.[11]

Immigration to the United States

Файл:U.S. Immigration records mentioning Friedr Trumpf.jpg
U.S. Immigration records. Line 133 notes "Friedr. Trumpf." age 16, born in Kallstadt, Germany.

In 1885, at age 16, Trump immigrated via Bremen, Germany, to the United States aboard the steamship Eider, departing on October 7[4]Шаблон:Rp and arriving at the Castle Garden Immigrant Landing Depot in New York City on October 19. As he had not yet served the mandatory military duty of two years in the Kingdom of Bavaria, this immigration was illegal under Bavarian law.[12] U.S. immigration records list his name as "Friedr. Trumpf" and his occupation as "none".[13] He moved in with his older sister Katharina – who had immigrated in 1883[4]Шаблон:Rp – and her husband Fred Schuster, also from Kallstadt. Only a few hours after arriving, he met a German-speaking barber who was looking for an employee,[4]Шаблон:Rp and began working the following day.[4]Шаблон:Rp He worked as a barber for six years.[2] Trump lived with his relatives on the Lower East Side of Manhattan in a neighborhood with many Palatine German immigrants, at 76 Forsyth Street.[4]Шаблон:Rp Due to the cost of operating at 76 Forsyth Street getting expensive, they later moved to 606 East 17th Street[4]Шаблон:Rp and to 2012 2nd Avenue.[4]Шаблон:Rp

In 1891, Trump moved to Seattle, in the newly admitted U.S. state of Washington. With his life savings of several hundred dollars, he bought the Poodle Dog, which he renamed the Dairy Restaurant, and supplied it with new tables, chairs, and a range.[2] Located at 208 Washington Street, the Dairy Restaurant was in the middle of Seattle's Pioneer Square; Washington Street was nicknamed "the Line" and included an assortment of saloons, casinos, and brothels. Biographer Gwenda Blair called it "a hotbed of sex, booze, and money, [it] was the indisputable center of the action in Seattle."[4]Шаблон:Rp The restaurant served food and liquor and was advertised to include "Rooms for Ladies", a common euphemism for prostitution.[4]Шаблон:Rp In 1892, Trump became a U.S. citizen[4]Шаблон:Rp and voted in Washington's first presidential election.[4]Шаблон:Rp He lived in Seattle until early 1893.[4]Шаблон:Rp

On February 14, 1894, Trump sold the Dairy Restaurant, and in March, he moved to the emerging mining town of Monte Cristo, Washington, in Snohomish County north of Seattle.[14] After evidence of mineral deposits had been discovered in 1889, Monte Cristo was expected to produce a fortune in gold and silver. Many prospectors moved to the area in hopes of becoming rich. Rumors about financial investments by millionaire John D. Rockefeller in the entire Everett area created an exaggerated expectation of the area's potential.[4]Шаблон:Rp

Before leaving Seattle, Trump bought Шаблон:Convert in the Pine Lake Plateau, Шаблон:Convert east of the city, for $200, which was the first major real estate purchase of the Trump family.[4]Шаблон:Rp In Monte Cristo, Trump chose a plot of land near the later train station that he wanted to build a hotel on, but could not afford the $1,000-per-acre fee to purchase it. Instead, he filed a gold placer claim on the land, which allowed him to claim exclusive mineral rights to the land without having to pay for it,[4]Шаблон:Rp even though the land had already been claimed by Everett resident Nicholas Rudebeck. At that time, the United States General Land Office was known to be corrupt and frequently allowed such multiple claims. Despite the placer's claim providing Trump no right to build any structure on the land, he quickly bought lumber to build a new boarding house and operate it similarly to the Dairy Restaurant. He never tried to mine gold on the land. Blair described Trump as "mining the miners" since they needed a place to sleep at night while they were mining.[4]Шаблон:RpIn July 1894, Rudebeck filed to incorporate the land and sent an agent to collect rent; this was apparently unsuccessful since the people of Monte Cristo did not pay attention to legal titles.[4]Шаблон:Rp Trump finally bought the land in December 1894.[4]Шаблон:Rp While in Monte Cristo, Trump was elected in 1896 as justice of the peace by a 32-to-5 margin.[4]Шаблон:Rp

Years of mining had revealed that there was not nearly as much gold and silver in Monte Cristo as had once been believed,[4]Шаблон:Rp and in August 1894, Rockefeller pulled out of most of his investment in the area, creating the "Everett bubble burst."[4]Шаблон:Rp By the spring of 1896, most of the miners had left Monte Cristo. Trump suffered both from a shortage of workers and reduced business, although he had been one of the few people to make money in Monte Cristo. Trump prepared for the bubble burst by funding two miners in the Yukon, Canada, in exchange for them staking a claim for him.[4]Шаблон:Rp In July 1897, the Klondike Gold Rush began after boats loaded with gold arrived in San Francisco and Seattle. Thousands of people rushed to the area in hopes of making a fortune.[4]Шаблон:Rp Trump sold off most of his property in Monte Cristo a few weeks later and moved back to Seattle.[4]Шаблон:Rp

In Seattle, Trump opened a new restaurant at 207 Cherry Street. Business was so good that he paid off the mortgage in four weeks. Meanwhile, on 7 July, the two miners whom Trump had funded staked his claim at Hunker Creek, a tributary of the Klondike. After spending $15 to register the claim, they sold half of it for $400 the next day. A week later, another miner sold it for $1,000.[4]Шаблон:Rp On 20 September, they staked a second claim, at Deadwood Creek. Half of it was sold in October for $150, while the other half was sold in December for $2,000. It is, however, unknown if Trump ever received any money from there. By early 1898, he had made enough money to go to the Yukon himself.[4]Шаблон:Rp

He bought all the necessary supplies, sold off his remaining properties in Monte Cristo and Seattle, and transferred his 40 acres in the Pine Lake Plateau to his sister Louise.[4]Шаблон:Rp In 1900, Louise sold the property for $250.[4]Шаблон:Rp In the winter following Trump's departure from Monte Cristo, the town suffered some of the worst avalanches and floods in its short history, and this time, Rockefeller refused to reconstruct the almost vital railroad to Everett.[4]Шаблон:Rp

Yukon Gold Rush; Trump's hotels and brothels

According to Blair's account, when Trump left for the Yukon, he had no plans to do actual mining.[4]Шаблон:Rp He likely travelled the White Pass route,[4]Шаблон:Rp which included the notorious "Dead Horse trail", so named because drivers whipped animals of transport until they dropped dead on the trail and were left to decompose. In the spring of 1898, Trump and another miner named Ernest Levin opened a tent restaurant along the trail. Blair writes that "a frequent dish was fresh-slaughtered, quick-frozen horse".[4]Шаблон:Rp

In May 1898, Trump and Levin moved to Bennett, British Columbia,[15] a town known for prospectors building boats in order to travel to Dawson. In Bennett, Trump and Levin opened the Arctic Restaurant and Hotel, which offered fine dining, lodging and sex in a sea of tents.[4]Шаблон:Rp The Arctic was also originally housed in a tent, but demand for the hotel and restaurant grew until it occupied a two-story building.[4] A letter to the Yukon Sun newspaper described the Arctic:

For single men the Arctic has excellent accommodations as well as the best restaurant in Bennett, but I would not advise respectable women to go there to sleep as they are liable to hear that which would be repugnant to their feelings – and uttered, too, by the depraved of their own sex.[4]

The Arctic House was one of the largest and most extravagant restaurants in that region of the Klondike, offering fresh fruit and ptarmigan in addition to the staple of horse meat.Шаблон:Citation needed The Arctic was open 24 hours a day and advertised "Rooms for ladies", which included beds and scales for measuring gold dust. The local detachment of North-West Mounted Police were known to tolerate vice so long as it was conducted discreetly.[4]Шаблон:Rp

In 1900, the Шаблон:Convert White Pass and Yukon Route, a railroad between Skagway, Alaska and Whitehorse, Yukon, was completed. Trump founded the White Horse Restaurant and Inn in White Horse.[4]Шаблон:Rp[16] They moved the building by barge, relocated on Front Street, and were operational by June.[4]Шаблон:Rp

The new restaurant, which included one of the largest steel ranges in the area, prepared 3,000 meals per day and had space for gambling. Despite the enormous financial success, Trump and Levin began fighting due to Levin's drinking. They broke up their business relationship in February 1901, but reconciled in April. Around that time, the local government announced the suppression of prostitution, gambling and liquor, though the crackdown was delayed by businessmen until later that year. In light of this impending threat to his business operation, Trump sold his share of the restaurant to Levin and left the Yukon.[2][4]Шаблон:Rp In the months that followed, Levin was arrested for public drunkenness and sent to jail, and the Arctic was taken over by the Mounties.[4]Шаблон:Rp The restaurant burned down in the White Horse fire of 1905.[17] Blair wrote that "once again, in a situation that created many losers, [Frederick Trump] managed to emerge a winner."[4]Шаблон:Rp

Marriage and family

Trump returned to Kallstadt in 1901 as a wealthy man. Biographer Blair said that "the business of seeing to his customers' need for food, drink and female companionship had been good to him."[4]Шаблон:Rp He quickly met and proposed to Elisabeth Christ (1880–1966), the daughter of a former neighbor; she was eleven years younger than Trump.[18]Шаблон:Better source needed Trump's mother disapproved of Christ because she considered her family to be of a lower social class. Trump and Christ married on August 26, 1902, and moved to New York City.[4]Шаблон:Rp

In New York, Trump found work as a barber and a restaurant and hotel manager. The couple lived at 1006 Westchester Avenue in the German-speaking Morrisania neighborhood of the Bronx. Their daughter Elizabeth was born on April 30, 1904. In May 1904, when Trump applied in New York for a U.S. passport to travel with his wife and his daughter, he listed his profession as "hotelkeeper".[19] Due to Elizabeth Sr.'s extreme homesickness, the family returned to Germany later that year.[4]Шаблон:Rp In Germany, Trump deposited into a bank his life's savings of 80,000 marks, Шаблон:Inflation.[4]Шаблон:Rp

Soon after the family arrived in Germany, Bavarian authorities determined that Trump had emigrated from Germany to avoid his military-service obligations, and he was classified as a draft dodger.[4]Шаблон:Rp On 24 December 1904 the Department of Interior announced an investigation to banish Trump from Germany. Officially, they found that he had violated the Resolution of the Royal Ministry of the Interior number 9916, an 1886 law that punished immigration to North America to avoid military service with the loss of Bavarian and thus German citizenship.[4]Шаблон:Rp In February 1905, a royal decree was issued ordering Trump to leave within eight weeks due to having emigrated to evade military service and failing to register his departure with the authorities.[20] For several months, Trump petitioned the government to allow him to stay but he was unsuccessful.[4]Шаблон:Rp

He and his family departed for New York on 30 June 1905.[4]Шаблон:Rp Their son Fred was born on 11 October 1905, in Bronx, New York.[4]Шаблон:Rp The family lived at 539 East 177th Street. In 1907, their second son, John, was born. Later that year the family moved to Woodhaven, Queens. While living in Queens, Trump opened a barber shop at 60 Wall Street in Manhattan.[4]Шаблон:Rp

Later life and death

In 1908, Trump bought real estate on Jamaica Avenue in Woodhaven. Two years later, he moved his family into the building on the land, renting out several rooms. He also worked as a hotel manager at the Medallion Hotel on 6th Avenue and 23rd Street.[4]Шаблон:Rp Trump intended to continue buying more land, but during World War I he kept a low profile because of the pervasive anti-German sentiment in the US due to the war. German-born citizens came under suspicion.[4]Шаблон:Rp

According to Trump family biographer Gwenda Blair, "on May 29, 1918, while walking with his son Fred, Trump suddenly felt extremely sick and was rushed to bed. The next day, he was dead. What was first diagnosed as pneumonia turned out to be one of the early cases of the Spanish flu."[4]Шаблон:Rp Contrarily, according to his death certificate, Trump had been attended by a doctor since May 23, 1918, and died on the morning of May 30 from pneumonia and, secondarily, nephritis.[21]

At his death, his net holdings included a 2-story, 7-room home in Queens; 5 vacant lots; $4,000 in savings; $3,600 in stocks; and 14 mortgages. Altogether his net worth was $31,359 ($Шаблон:Formatprice in Шаблон:Inflation-year dollars).[4]Шаблон:Rp His wife and son Fred continued his real estate projects under the name Elizabeth Trump & Son.

Earlier recorded forms of the family name

U.S. immigration records from October 1885 list his name as Friedr. Trumpf.[22][23] An early recorded appearance of the name "Trump" appears 25 years later in the 1910 United States census records.[24][23] In her book The Trumps, biographer Gwenda Blair mentions a Hanns Drumpf who settled in Kallstadt in 1608 and whose descendants changed their name from Drumpf to Trump during the Thirty Years' War.[25][26] A 2015 Deutsche Welle article claims Blair said in an interview that Trump's grandfather was named Friedrich Drumpf,[27] which is no doubt a mistake made by the journalist because this would contradict Blair's book. According to Kallstadt's transportation association, "Drumpf" was the original spelling of the family's surname but that it had already been changed to "Trump" before this spelling was recorded in the population register produced by French annexation of the Left Bank of the Rhine (from 1798 to 1814).[28] The fact-checking website Snopes presents sources showing the family name was once "Drumpf" and showing the aforementioned contradictory reporting of Blair's opinion on whether Frederick Trump first used "Drumpf" but also showing that neither Donald Trump nor his father ever had the surname Drumpf.[29]
