Julius von Hößlin
Julius Heinrich Balthasar von Hößlin ( Ιούλιος φον Έσσλιν ; born November 29, 1802 in Trieste ; † January 18, 1849 in Athens ) came from a patrician family in Augsburg and worked as a banker first in Trieste, then in Athens.
His father and uncle, Marcus Christoph Balthasar von Hößlin (1754-1811) and Carl Friedrich von Hößlin (1765-1840), brothers of Sebastian Balthasar von Hößlin , settled in Trieste and ran the trading and banking house Gebrüder Hößlin and Comp. The banking business, the cotton trade and the shipping company suffered from oversupply on the market, so that Julius von Hößlin relocated all activities to Athens in 1839, where his bank J. Hösslin & Cie played a leading role until the National Bank of Greece was founded in 1841. Julius von Hößlin advised the Greek state on the establishment of this bank, which at that time also functioned as the national bank, and was appointed to its board of directors.
Julius and his wife Christina Justina Chatziapostolou had three sons who were all born in Athens: Aristides Emanuel Balthasar von Hoesslin , 1839–1904 became an engineer, as such he built the port of Volos and numerous other buildings that are still under monument protection today, including the former prefecture of Ermupolis (Syros island). Ferdinando Nikolaos Balthasar von Hoesslin was killed in the Cretan liberation struggle against the Ottomans in Crete at the age of 24 on October 24, 1866. Konstantin von Hößlin became an important politician
