!!!Mautner Markhof, Unternehmerfamilie

Mautner Markhof, industrialist family. Founded by Adolf Ignaz  Mautner 
who moved to Vienna from Bohemia and became leaseholder of the Brewery 
St. Marx in 1840, greatly acclaimed for the industrial production 
of compressed yeast in 1850. Raised to the nobility with the title 
"Ritter von Markhof" in 1872. His sons Karl Ferdinand 
M. v. M. (1834-1896) and Georg Heinrich M. v. M. 
(1840-1904) expanded the company (founding of a factory for yeast and 
spirit production in Floridsdorf, today Vienna´s 21%%sup st/%  
district), their brewery was the third-largest in Europe. Under Viktor 
M. v. M. (1865-1919, son of Karl Ferdinand 
M. v. M.) the brewery was fused with the Dreher-Meichel 
breweries into Vereinigte Brauereien Schwechat, St. Marx, 
Simmering AG. Manfred  Mautner Markhof and Georg  Mautner Markhof, 
both great-grandsons of Adolf Ignaz Mautner are the family´s 
most important entrepreneurs in the 20%%sup th/%  century. The 
ordinary shares of  Mautner Markhof AG are to this day held by the 
family, who are also great patrons of the arts and benefactors to the 
public (e.g. Mautner Markhof Childrens´ Hospital until 1998).
