Julius Bagel junior was the son of Julius Bagel (1826–1900) and his wife Ferdinande Dreibholtz (1836–1891). He was the descendant of a Huguenot family who had been a bookbinder and publisher on the Lower Rhine since the beginning of the 19th century . His father had left the family business in Wesel in order to set up his own bookseller and publisher in Mülheim an der Ruhr in 1855.

After his mother's death in 1891, Julius Bagel senior withdrew from the company and left the company management to his son. With the beginning of World War I, the company went through economic difficulties from which it never recovered, so that Julius Bagel junior had to file for bankruptcy in 1924.

A splendid villa in Mülheim an der Ruhr, which Julius Bagel junior had built by the renowned architect Franz Hagen in 1910/12, is reminiscent of the Bagel family . Today it is part of the route of industrial culture .

Marriage and offspring

In 1891 he married Helene Winkler (* 1872) in Breslau. Two children emerged from this connection:

  • Hermann Julius (1892–1961)
  • Johanna Ferdinandine Anna (1893–1972)
