Ludwig Seisser

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ludwig Seisser (born July 4, 1866 in Würzburg , † January 27, 1936 in Munich ) was a German pharmacist and entrepreneur .

Life

Seisser came from a family of merchants and civil servants based in Würzburg and Munich. His uncle Andreas Ritter von Seisser was President of the Bavarian State Bank . Seisser's father ran a textile trading company. Seisser studied pharmacy at the University of Würzburg . As a licensed pharmacist, he later joined the Munich food company Franz Kathreiner's successor , which belonged to the Munich businessman Emil Wilhelm and Seisser's father-in-law Adolph Brougier .

The business was largely focused on importing and trading in coffee , tea, and spices . Before the First World War, the company , which was converted into a GmbH in 1897, was the largest inland colonial goods trading house. Among other things, the company produced the famous “Kathreiner's Malzkaffee” (later also “ CARO ”).

As managing director of the GmbH, Ludwig Seisser received a patent in 1901 for the process for the production of canned tea and coffee containing sugar (German Reich patent DRP 131095, the malt coffee is now produced by Nestlé ). Seisser was initially one of the managing directors of the GmbH, later a partner and subsequently a member of the supervisory board of the AG . Seisser lived at Holdereggen Castle near Lindau, which was built by Georg von Hauberrisser , the architect of the Munich town hall.

Seisser was awarded the honorary title of Commercial Councilor .

His son, the entrepreneur Erich Seisser, was executed in Berlin in 1945 for sedition and proximity to the resistance . A plaque commemorates the crypt of the Brougier family and since 2010 a so-called “ stumbling stone ” in front of Holdereggen Castle has been commemorating Erich Seisser. Under pressure from the NSDAP, the castle was sold to the city of Lindau, which ran a girls' school there. Brougierstrasse, named after Seisser's father-in-law and grandfather Adolf Brougier, still reminds of the last owners of the property.
