LOEW-BEER

LOEW-BEER
LOEW-BEER, family of textile manufacturers in brno (Bruenn), Czechoslovakia. Three cousins, who originated from boskovice , began their career in the textile industry as wool buyers for the Brno textile factories. In the 1840s various members of the family opened independent spinning-mills. One firm, founded by AARON and JACOB (d. 1866) in 1853, employed 1,200 workers. Another firm was set up by MOSES and later directed by MAX LOEW-BEER (1829–1887), who also established sugar refineries. The firm founded by SAMUEL (d. 1884) was later directed by IGNAZ LOEW-BEER. Other members of the family founded textile firms at the end of the 19th century. The whole family was active in Jewish and public life. A soup kitchen founded by JONAS LOEW-BEER for World War I refugees was taken over by the community in 1924. The various firms remained in existence until the German occupation in 1939. -BIBLIOGRAPHY: H. Heller, Maehrens Maenner der Gegenwart, 4 (1890), 102–3; Jews of Czechoslovakia, 1 (1968), 413.
