About Kommerzienrat Max Josef Kohn

Excerpt from profile in Die bayerischen Kommerzienräte (2016), Marita Krauss (ed.)

Ernennung zum Kommerzienrat am 10.10.1882. Die familie Kohn gehörte 1850 zu den ersten jüdischen Familien, die sich nach der Vertreibung der Juden 1499 wieder in Nürnberg niederlassen durften. Schon bald gehorten sie zum Großbürgertum. 1878 gründete Kohn vater Joseph Kohn zusammen mit seinem Bruder Anton Kohn das "Bankhaus Kohn" das bald zu den großten Privatbanken Bayerns zählte. Wie auch seine Brüder wurde K. Teilhaber des Bankhauses, das sich nun "Joseph Kohn Söhne" nannte. In den Jahren 1882 und 1896, führte er die Kassengeschäfte der Landesausstellung in Nürnberg: für sein Engagement im Jahr 1882 erhielt er den Kommerzienratsitel. Außerdem war er Mitglied der "Naturhistorischen Gesellschaft zu Nürnberg." Auch seine Cousins Michael Kohn und Gerog Friedrich Kohn erhielten den Titel Kommerzienrat.

Edited Google translation:

Appointed Kommerzienrat on 10.10.1882. In 1850, the Kohn family was one of the first Jewish families to settle in Nuremberg after the expulsion of the Jews in 1499. Soon they belonged to the upper bourgeoisie. In 1878, Kohn's father Joseph Kohn and his brother Anton Kohn founded the "Bankhaus Kohn" which soon became one of the largest private banks in Bavaria. Like his brothers, Kohn became a partner in the bank, which now called itself "Joseph Kohn Sons". In the years 1882 and 1896, he led the cash transactions of the national exhibition in Nuremberg: for his commitment in 1882, he received the Kommerzienrat title. He was also a member of the "Natural History Society of Nuremberg." His cousins Michael Kohn and Gerog Friedrich Kohn were also awarded the title of "Kommerzienrat".

Note: the above excerpt indicates more than one brother was a partner with Max Kohn in banking, whereas Max's brother Ernst was his partner and the only brother that lived to adulthood.



The brothers Ernst Kohn and Max Josef Kohn married the sisters Dorette Hopf (Kohn) and Pauline Hopf (Kohn), who were their first cousins through their mothers' side.
