  Adolph Ladenburg (1855–1896), who co-founded the private American merchant bank Ladenburg Thalmann, with Ernst Thalmann in 1876.  He married the American Emily Louise Stevens, daughter of Alexander Henry Stevens and niece of Byam K. Stevens.
  August Ladenburg (1856–1929), who married Gertrud von Hergenhahn (Carl Friedrich August von Hergenhahn). After her death, he married Charlotte Emilie Schmidt (daughter of Gustav Adolf Schmidt).
  Marie Ladenburg (b. 1857), who married the British Engineer Robert Searles Lindley (1854–1925), the son of William Lindley and brother of William Heerlein Lindley.
  Emma Ladenburg (1859–1939), who in 1877 married Dr. Wilhelm Ralph Merton, a founder of the University of Frankfurt and Metallgesellschaft.
  Ladenburg died on 8 January 1902 in Frankfurt, then part of Hesse-Nassau. He is buried in the Jewish cemetery in Rat-Beil-Straße.
  His strong interest in music made his home a meeting place for respected artists. The violinist and composer Joseph Joachim and the pianist and composer Clara Schumann were amongst the family's closest friends.  Ladenburg hosted Johannes Brahms at his home when the "Joachim Quartet" played there in November 1894.
