Ludwig Lehmann
Ludwig Lehmann (born April 23, 1802 in Halle (Saale) ; † June 11, 1877 there ) was a German entrepreneur and banker .
Life
He was the son of Heinrich Franz Lehmann and took over from his father in 1834 and headed the HF Lehmann banking house, which he himself initiated in 1828. He actively participated in Carl Adolph Riebeck's development plans . Without the bank loan from Lehmann, Riebeck would not have been able to develop his company in the familiar way.
In 1867, Ludwig Lehmann had a representative new building built for the bank at Grosse Steinstrasse 19, which was supplemented by an extension in the courtyard in 1914.
Lehmann also gained a monopoly in the sugar industry at that time. In 1871 he founded the Cröllwitzer paper factory. A year earlier he had taken on his three children Heinrich Franz, Emmy and Margarete as partners in his company.
His son Heinrich Franz (1847–1925) had the imposing Villa Burgstrasse 46 built from 1890 to 1892 , which is now considered the most magnificent villa of historicism in Halle.
