Max accepted,and - as he later said - issued "the biggest blank cheque in my life". The paths of life of the two brothers spilt into different directions. Aby built his library into a research institute. Max developed M. M. Warburg & Co., thus the bankhouse becoming one of the most important private banks in Germany. At Simultaneously, they both pursued another goal: the foundation of the university. The brothers were among the early donors of the Hamburg Scientific Foundation (Hamburgische Wissenschaftliche Stiftung). It was all about "Hamburg's mental capacity" ("Hamburgs geistige Zahlungsfähigkeit"). 606 $aHistory$2bicssc 615 7$aHistory 700 $aMichels$b Karen$0985446 801 0$bScCtBLL 801 1$bScCtBLL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910149665903321 996 $a"Es muß besser werden!"$94157757 997 $aUNINA
