Hermann Windesheim
Hermann Windesheim (born March 5, 1838 in Hovestadt , † April 4, 1905 in Nice ) was a German manufacturer and councilor .
Life
In 1887 the grain wholesaler Hermann Windesheim from Erfurt bought the malt factory in Arnstadt together with his brother Sally from the widow of the finance councilor Heinrich Adolf Mendius. His brother Max (Marcus) Windesheim was also a grain wholesaler, but lived and worked in Halle ad Saale , where he was the authorized signatory of H. Windesheim and Co. Sally died in 1890 and Hermann continued to run the factory on his own, and in 1891 Hermann acquired a rolling mill in Essen . In 1898 he passed his company on to his sons Hugo and Max Windesheim , who successfully continued the company and made the Arnstadt malt factory the largest box malt house in Europe. In 1904 Herrmann retired to his villa near Nice, where he died in 1905. Throughout his life Hermann was supported by the Frankfurt Rotschilds (especially by his godfather and relative Wilhelm Carl von Rothschild ). His brothers and sons also cultivated the relationship with Maximilian von Goldschmidt-Rothschild and his wife Minna. Hermann's grandmother was an illegitimate daughter from the Saxon royal family .
