Eduard Joest

Eduard Joest (born September 24, 1821 in Solingen -Mangenberg, † February 14, 1892 in Cologne ) was a German entrepreneur and sugar manufacturer.

Life

Joest was the fourth of five sons of Carl Wilhelm Joest (1786–1848) and his wife Johanna Wilhelmina Christina (Wilhelmine) born Schimmelbusch (1785–1862). His father founded the Schimmelbusch & Joest sugar refinery in Cologne in September 1831 , which, under the direction of Johann Jakob Langen, developed into the city's leading sugar refinery. Gradually, the sons Carl, Julius, Wilhelm, August and Eduard joined the company as partners, so that in 1841 it was renamed Carl Joest & Sons . On April 5, 1852, the Association of Refiners was founded in the Zollverein and in Hanover (today the Association of the Sugar Industry ), which Eduard Joest headed as president of the most important company. In 1855, the vom Rath brothers, the Carstanjen brothers and Carl Joest & Sons, as the largest Rhenish sugar factories at the time, founded a joint production and trading company with their companies that covered around three quarters of the Rhenish demand. From this, on the basis of a partnership agreement from June 1863, the Rheinische Actien-Verein für Zuckerfabrikation emerged in April 1864 with Eduard Joest as chairman of the board and head of the beet sugar factory and refinery on Holzmarkt, which was still founded by Carl Joest & Sons. Eduard and Julius Joest were most recently the sole owners of Carl Joest & Sons . In 1864 Joest became a member of the supervisory board of the Cölnischen Lebensversicherungs-Gesellschaft ( Colonia ).

Eduard Joest was married to Maria Wilhelmine Leiden (1829–1855) since 1849. The marriage resulted in two children, the son Wilhelm Joest (1852-1897) became a well-known scientist and world traveler. Joest was related by marriage to the Cologne banking families Stein , Deichmann and Schnitzler several times . Around 1850 Eduard Joest settled in Godesberg , like some industrialists, bankers and merchants from Cologne and the Ruhr area , where he built a villa on Rosenallee (today Am Kurpark 7 ; 1951–1999 residence of the Spanish ambassador) in the immediate vicinity of the villa as a summer residence built by his brother Julius.
