Life
Eduard Cassirer was the third of ten children of Marcus Cassirer (1809–1879) and his wife Jeannette, née Steinitz (1813–1889). He was born in Schwientochlowitz, today Świętochłowice , in 1843 . He married Eugenie (Jenny) Cassirer (1848-1904), the daughter of his uncle Siegfried, and had a total of seven children with her, including the later philosopher Ernst Cassirer (1874-1945) and Hedwig Cassirer (1873-1948), the future wife of the neurologist Richard Cassirer (1868-1925).
Eduard Cassirer founded and managed the Cassirer Söhne lumber business in 1872 , marking the beginning of the actual rise of the Cassirer family. Two years later he moved the company within Breslau from Brüderstraße 9 to Vorwerkstraße 59, where he made his brother Salo Cassirer a partner. When his brothers Julius and Louis set up the Cassirer Brothers construction and natural wood business in Berlin at the beginning of the 1880s , he also went to Berlin with Salo. The wood trade in Breslau was run by his two sons as a steam sawmill and wood trade Cassirer sons Martin and Ludwig until 1929 and then closed. Together with Eduard Tillgner and Salo, he founded the sulfite cellulose factory Tillgner & Co in Ziegenhals / Głuchołazy in Silesia in 1885 . Also Isidor and Max settled in the then independent Charlottenburg down in Berlin. In 1899 the brothers founded the Włocławeker sulphite cellulose factory J. & M. Cassirer in Włocławek , Poland , which was managed by Max Cassirer.
