German rabbi; born about 1665; died at Altona Jan. 12, 1712. He was successively rabbi of Tykoczin, Brest-Litovsk, and Altona. In the last-mentioned town he at first shared the rabbinate with Ẓebi Hirsch Ashkenazi (Ḥakam Ẓebi); but from 1710, when the latter left Altona, Rothenburg was sole rabbi. Some of his novellæ were published by his widow in his father's responsa (Amsterdam, 1747).
