Max Sabersky

Maximilian Sabersky (born July 28, 1840 in Dessau , † December 20, 1887 in Teltow ) was a German industrialist .

Life

After completing his training, Sabersky founded the company "Max Sabersky Grain and Starch Business" in 1863, which established itself in the agricultural trade and expanded during the Franco-German War. In 1872 his brother Albert (1845–1907) became a partner in the company.

In 1872 Max and Albert Sabersky acquired various properties in Groß-Lichterfelde and Teltow from the Berlin merchant Herrmann Jacobson (1801-1892) . Gut Seehof also belonged to the approximately 84 hectare area in Teltow. The existing mansion was rebuilt and enlarged by the new owners in a historicizing style. The Sabersky villa garden with around 17,600 m² was completely redesigned by the Potsdam court gardener Theodor II. Nietner (1823-1894).

In the years 1872–74 the area was parceled out and a system of paths and roads ran through it. From then on, the area developed into a preferred place to stay for artists, scientists and entrepreneurs from the Berlin area. With the construction of a promenade on Lake Teltower, the place also became more attractive. Shortly before his death, Sabersky and other partners founded a joint-stock company, "Dampfstraßenbahn Groß-Lichterfelde-Seehof-Teltow", which was supposed to secure the financing of a tram to connect to the Berlin area .

Sabersky was born with Margarethe Sabersky. Landsberger (1854–1925) married. From this marriage the four children Else (1874–1905), Gertrud (1875–1954), Ernst Ulrich (1877–1950) and Dr. Fritz (1880–1952) emerged.

After Max Sabersky's death, his brother Albert continued the Seehof estate. In 1890 a health resort was opened and Teltow became a health resort.

In 1901 the company was transformed into "Max Sabersky Bank / Grain Forwarding".

Max and Albert Sabersky are lying in a family wall grave in the Jewish cemetery in Berlin-Weißensee.

In 1933 the heirs of Max and Albert Sabersky were forced to sell their property to local Nazi party comrades. In August 1939, all members of the community of heirs emigrated except Ernst. The engineer Ernst Sabersky , who lived in a "mixed marriage", was able to go into hiding in Berlin and survived.

Max Sabersky's heirs have been claiming the original property back since the 1990s. The city of Teltow has been suing a settlement between the federal government and the heirs since 2006. This has not yet been finally decided in the final instance. The proceedings are now pending at the Federal Constitutional Court.
