Marcus Cassirer

Marcus Cassirer (born 1809 in Bujaków , Austrian Empire ; died on October 20, 1879 in Breslau ) was a German industrialist who was active as a loom and cloth producer , primarily in Schwientochlowitz, today Świętochłowice , and later as a liqueur producer in Silesia .

Life

Marcus Cassirer was the second son of seven sons of Moses ben Loechel Cassirer (1771-1852) and his wife Pesel Bat Solomon, née Friedländer (1771-1852). After Moses ben Loechel, he was the progenitor of the Cassirer family , from which numerous well-known industrialists, art dealers and philosophers came from. In 1835 he married Jeanette Steinitz, who was born in Gleiwitz in 1813 and was four years younger than Marcus. He was the father of a total of ten children, including the industrialists Louis , Julius , Eduard , Salo , Isidor and Max . His daughter Julie married Otto Bondy , who came from the well-known Prague and later Viennese industrialist family Bondy, and was the mother of the painter and art collector Walter Bondy . His wife died in 1889, ten years after him, also in Breslau.

Marcus Cassirer moved to Breslau between 1857 and 1860 and first settled in Königshütte (now Chorzów) near Kattowitz (now Katowice). In Schwientochlowitz, today Świętochłowice and incorporated into Königshütte in 1869, Marcus Cassirer manufactured looms and traded in textiles. He eventually went to Wroclaw with his family, as the city offered him greater economic opportunities as a Jewish businessman. He opened the Marcus Cassirer & Co. liqueur factory there , in which his sons Louis and Julius were registered as authorized signatories from 1866 . Louis also started his own business in 1861 and built a loom and textile manufacture on the central Blücherplatz. Eduard Cassirer, the third son of Marcus Cassirer, opened a timber business in 1872 and after moving to the area outside the city wall in 1874 as a steam sawmill and timber dealer Cassirer Söhne , his brother Salo was also a partner. The father retired as a partner in the liqueur factory now run by his sons and died on October 20, 1879 in Breslau.
