Benno was married three times, first to Mathilda Gruenwald, second to Elsa (maiden name unknown), then lastly to Rosa (aka Bianca) Loeb.
Benno had 9 children in total, at least one with each of his three wifes:
Selma Uhlfelder, Siegmund Bodenheimer, Ludwig (Louis) Bodenheimer, and Bertha Loeb were born to his first wife, Mathilda;
Mina Lauchheimer, and a daughter who died very young, were born to Elsa; and

Benno's son, Siegmund wrote, "My father was a man of great integrity of character, of unusual modesty and humility. Like every breath of his life was for the welfare of his children, so all of his children clung to him with great love. His memory is kept by me and my siblings in high honor."
