Amongst the Maribor Jewish merchants, bankers, jewelers and healers of that time, Rabi Israel Isserlein stands out. We consider him today to be one of the most important Jewish thinkers in the last seven hundred years. Unfortunately, the story of the thriving Maribor Jewish community only lasted until 1496, when Emperor Maximilian issued a decree with which he expelled them from the city forever. The majority of the Maribor Jews chose a new home in the coastal region from Trieste to Padua and from Split to Dubrovnik. They gave themselves a new name - Marpurgo.
