Michael-Philipp Seisser

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Michael-Philipp Seißer (born February 14, 1854 in Würzburg ; † 1943 there ) was a textile entrepreneur in Würzburg and co-founder of the trading center of German department stores (Hadeka). He was called the Privy Councilor of Commerce .

Seißer was the son of a textile merchant and co-owner of a textile trading company founded in Würzburg in the 18th century. In 1887, together with other entrepreneurs in his trade, he founded “Hadeka”, one of the largest textile and purchasing associations in Germany. The association based in Frankfurt ("Hadeka House") existed until the end of the 1990s.

Seißer acted among other things as managing director of the Lower Franconian district committees of the Bavarian state aid association and the women's association of the Red Cross . During the First World War , he was jointly responsible for front-line broadcasts, so-called "love gifts", of the local Red Cross and personally sent them to the Würzburg regiments. He also supported the military hospital of the Würzburg Red Cross Clinic.

Michael-Philipp Seißer was considered the head of the family. Together with his brother Ludwig Seißer and his uncle Andreas von Seißer , who was President of the Royal Bavarian State Bank until 1909 , he was one of the most influential citizens of Würzburg. In 1903 he was appointed to the Royal Bavarian Council of Commerce, later to the Privy Council of Commerce.

When, after the overthrow of the monarchy, the revolutionary action committee proclaimed the Soviet republic on April 6, 1919 on the Würzburg Residenzplatz , Seißer was arrested along with other citizens based on the Munich model and arrested by the revolutionary councils in the Würzburg residence . His cousin Hans von Seißer , later head of the Bavarian State Police , took part in the suppression of the council .

Michael-Philipp Seißer died in Würzburg in 1943. The textile house, which was rebuilt at the old location at the Kürschnerhof after the Second World War, was taken over by his eldest son Anton Seißer, who was married to the daughter of the President of the Bavarian Federation of Industrialists (BIV).
