Louis Cassirer

Louis Cassirer , actually Leopold Cassirer (born on April 1, 1839 in Charlottenhof near Königshütte , district of Beuthen ; died on April 27, 1904 in Charlottenburg ) was a German industrialist who worked as a textile and loom manufacturer as well as a timber dealer in Breslau and later in Görlitz and Berlin was active.

Life

Louis Cassirer was the eldest son of ten children of Marcus Cassirer (1809–1879) and his wife Jeannette, née Steinitz (1813–1889). He married Emilie Schiffer (May 10, 1847– January 31, 1879) and had a total of six children with her, including the chemist Hugo Cassirer , the neurologist Richard Cassirer , the art dealer Paul Cassirer and the art collector Alfred Cassirer .

From 1866 Louis and his brother Julius were authorized signatories of the Marcus Cassirer & Co. liqueur factory in Breslau, which his father had opened . He also started his own business in 1861 and built a loom and textile manufacture on the central Blücherplatz. The father retired as a partner in the liquor factory now run by his sons, he died on October 20, 1879 in Breslau and left his property to his nine children who were still alive.

Together with his brother Isidor Cassirer , he relocated his loom and textile manufacture to Görlitz . At the beginning of the 1880s, Louis and Julius Cassirer moved to Berlin, where there was a great need for construction timber due to the construction activity, and became timber dealers and suppliers with the Cassirer Brothers Bau- und Naturholzhandlung . Since they were often awarded the houses that had already begun and were financially able to complete them in the event of default for wood that had already been delivered, as the creditor , they also came into possession of numerous apartment buildings in Berlin, which increased in value especially up to 1900. Gradually, the brothers Eduard , Salo and Isidor as well as Max came to Berlin and settled in Charlottenburg, which was still independent at the time. Louis later also became a partner in Kabelwerke Dr. Cassirer & Co. , founded by his sons Hugo and Alfred and his brother Julius.
