Abstract

ABSTRACT Felix Ganz (1869–1944) developed his family’s fabric and furniture store in Mainz into a public company with subsidiaries and branches across Europe and the Middle East. The business was restructured after the Wall Street Crash and the Great Depression and was lost to the family as a result of Nazi anti-Jewish persecution. This article reconstructs the history of the Ludwig Ganz AG and the entrepreneurial biography of its owner Felix Ganz, a member of Germany’s business elite in the Wilhelmine and Weimar eras, a veteran of the First World War, and a victim of antisemitism during the Third Reich.
