Wolfner Family: Gyula Wolfner (1814-1889) a creator of the Hungarian leather industry migrated to Hungary from Bohemia with his brothers. He founded a tannery and leather processing manufacture in Újpest in 1841, which he developed into a factory with his younger brother, Lajos (1824-1912). After his death Lajos improved it further. He received the title of baron in 1904. His son Baron Gyula Wolfner (1868-1944) followed in his footsteps and expanded the factory into a large-scale industrial plant. Gyula was a well-known art collector, too. His brother, '''Baron Tivadar Wolfner''' (1864-1929), co-owner in the leather works, was a founding, and later board member of the Manufacturers’ Association as well as a leading member of the Chamber of Trade and Industry of Budapest. He was elected deputy to the Parliament with a liberal party program in 1896.
Theodore Wolfner, Hungarian deputy; born at Uj-Pest June 18, 1864; educated at the gymnasium and at the school of technology at Budapest. After spending some time in his father's tannery in order to acquire a practical knowledge of the manufacture of leather, he undertook an extensive journey, visiting Germany, Egypt, Palestine, and Turkey.
Wolfner was an alderman of Uj-Pest, a member of the county council of Pest, president of the national association of leather manufacturers, director of the technological industrial museum, and a member of the chamber of commerce and industry in Budapest. Since 1896 he represented Gödöllö in the Hungarian Parliament, a fact which is the more noteworthy because of the circumstance that this district is the favorite residence of Francis Joseph I, and is under the influence of court officials. In 1904 Wolfner was the recipient of a rare honor, when the king appointed him a captain of hussars in the reserves and elevated him to the Hungarian nobility.
