The third son Joel Nathan Oberndörffer (1799-1843) started his business in Munich in 1829. Following his death in 1843 the business was taken over by his surviving brothers including the youngest, Maier (Mayer) Oberndörffer (1801-1849), from 1845. The latter ran an independent firm which was continued following his own death in 1849 as M. Oberndörffer jun. Joseph Nathan Oberndörffer established a branch in Vienna, and the eldest brother Samson Nathan Oberndörffer ran the Oberndörffer bank and shop in Munich until his death in 1862.
