When he was born in Hamburg in 1849 as the son of Orthodox Jews and successful merchants, a career as a merchant was put in his cradle. In search of personal freedom he persuaded his strict father in 1867 to let him go to New York. The fact that Lewisohn, as an industrialist in the USA, will generate millions of euros in only twenty years' time would have seemed like a fairy tale to the young migrant. With dedication, foresight and flexibility he builds a copper empire. For four decades he then supports countless charitable projects with millions of euros. The Hamburgische Wissenschaftliche Stiftung (Hamburg Scientific Society) also owes him one of the biggest donations it received when it was founded. This is the first biography of this exceptionally successful businessman, art collector and international philanthropist. 606 $aHistory$2bicssc 610 $a19th century 610 $aAdolph Lewisohn 610 $acopper 610 $adonor 610 $aHamburg 610 $aindustry 610 $aNews York 610 $apatron 615 7$aHistory 700 $aAlbrecht$b Henning$01241589 801 0$bScCtBLL 801 1$bScCtBLL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910149668003321 996 $aAdolph Lewisohn.
