Georg Johann Höllfritsch

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Georg Johann Höllfritsch (born June 20, 1884 in Reichelsdorf / Nuremberg, † July 20, 1929 in Reichenberg ) was a German entrepreneur.

Life

He was married to Anna Babette Karoline Höllfritsch (born October 5, 1882 in Katzwang, died November 29, 1959). On December 22, 1924, at the age of 40, he was appointed to the Council of Commerce . He owned the "German Society for Terranova Utilization Höllfritsch & Co." in Nuremberg, Stuttgart and Reichenberg (Czechoslovak Republic), which produced plaster mortar. First he was an employee, then a director of the company. He donated 20,000 marks for the construction of the “Bavaria and Palatinate Memorial Stone” designed by the sculptor Bernhard Bleeker, which was to commemorate the 30,000 Palatinate people who fell in World War I and thus the fact that the Palatinate belonged to Bavaria. Due to the French occupation of the Palatinate, a list there was not possible, so the "Bavaria and Palatinate Denkstein Association" chose Munich as its location. In 1918 Höllfritsch received the Order of Merit from St. Michael IV Class. The district president justified Höllfritsch's early appointment as a commercial councilor by referring to his "many years of military service in the front line".

In the neighboring Wendelstein a street in the industrial area Am Kohlschlag was named Johann-Höllfritsch-Straße in his honor.
