Brothers Riezler
The brothers Franz Xaver Riezler (* July 21, 1788 in Munich ; † August 18, 1854 in Munich) and Joseph Riezler (* October 5, 1790 in Munich; † April 29, 1873 in Munich) were co-founders of the Bayerische Hypotheken- und Wechselbank (today UniCredit Bank AG ) in Munich.
They came from a long-established family in the mountain village of Riezlern in Kleinwalsertal , Austria . Her father had made some fortune as a trader. He later moved to the Bavarian capital and married an heiress of the Ruedorffer bank (a descendant of the family, Baron Axel von Ruedorffer, is still a member of the Commerzbank Supervisory Board today ). After his death, the two sons took over the management of the trading company. At the time, the two brothers were among the wealthiest middle-class families in Munich. They owned and lived together in a palace built by Leo von Klenze at Briennerstrasse 52 (today, among other things, the headquarters of HypoVereinsbank Bulgaria GmbH).
In 1835 they both contributed 25,000 guilders each to founding the “Bayerische Hypotheken- und Wechselbank”. The bank was initially run on a voluntary basis. From the 40 proportionally most important of the total of 71 shareholders, the so-called bank committee, 7 administrators were selected, all of them Munich business owners who carried out the banking business under the supervision of a state commissioner. The Riezler brothers were appointed administrators of the two insurance departments.
Franz Xaver Riezler was administrator of the fire insurance company from 1835 to 1850 , second director for ten years from 1835 to 1845, first director of Bayerische Hypotheken- und Wechselbank from 1845 to 1849 and also a member of the Bavarian state parliament from 1834 to 1848 , as well as a municipal representative and municipal councilor of the city administration .
From 1835 to 1850 Joseph Riezler was administrator of the life insurance and annuity institution of the Bayerische Hypotheken- und Wechselbank. His first marriage was to the painter Anna Riezler , née Beck (1798–1829), and his second marriage to Alphonsine Sendtner (1818–1894), daughter of the writers Jakob Ignaz and Barbara “Betty” Sendtner . The well-known historian Sigmund von Riezler , the Bavarian major general Emanuel Riezler and the painter Albrecht Riezler came from the marriage . His son Heinrich († 1889) was a businessman and father of the archaeologist and musicologist Walter Riezler and the diplomat and politician Kurt Riezler .
