Bankhaus Gebrüder Fürth & Co

The banking house is founded in 1870, the owner and banker Lißmann Fürth then takes over the banking house Maron & Cie (founded before 1867), which is located at Marktplatz 2. In 1878, an address book entry is listed under his own name (Fürth), Lißmann is the owner. Michael, as well as Moses Fürth are involved in the management, but also run a bristle store together. This, as well as the bank, is now located at Fahrgasse 14. Later, the banking business moves to Krämerstrasse 12. Michael is a respected man in Hanau and Moses is described in his obituary as unpretentious, kind-hearted and intelligent. In 1909, the bank is no longer independent, but part of Mitteldeutsche Creditbank (founded in 1856), although Amand Fürth, formerly an employee and later owner, is allowed to continue managing. Then in 1929, the credit bank merges with Commerz- und Privatbank.
