Note: see tankonyvta in Hungarian, (English) genealogy ref. OR hungarianquarterly ".. The Hatvanys were amongst the most prominent Jewish families in Hungary. Wealth and culture went hand in hand in this financially powerful and influential clan. Legend has it that their maternal ancestors were influential financiers in Buda in the 15th century, as usurers to King Matthias Corvinus. Shortly afterwards, they moved to Prague and Warsaw, to the lands of the Jagiellons; at the end of the 18th century some of the family resettled in Hungary. The alleged creator of the Golem, the mysterious Rabbi (see Loew family) geni of Prague, also belonged to this family. Paternally, they traced their ancestry to a prominent mid-18th century Great Hungarian Plain family, in and around the town of Cegléd. In the reign of the Emperor Joseph II, at the time of Germanization, being "good Jews", they acquired the name Deutsch. Like the majority of the Jews in Hungary, the Deutsches identified emotionally with the Magyars. The Sterns, a family that produced 1 of the most valiant soldiers of the Hungarian Revolution and War of Independence of 1848–49, the legendary Sergeant-Major Csillag (the name was already Magyarized) wikipedia - merged with the Deutsches. The Hatvanys cherished their militant traditions, several of them were of the left in the 20th century, not necessarily as activists but certainly in spirit.."

Note-1: see Ignác in Hétköznapi hősök OR hungarianquarterly cont'd: ".. The immense family fortune was founded by Ignác Deutsch, who set up businesses 1st in Arad and later in the rest of the country and in Budapest. Although they owned a great number of businesses, their astronomical wealth was derived mainly from sugar refining, which was truly vertically integrated. They leased and purchased enormous estates on which they grew sugar-beet, financed by their own bank (Ignác Deutsch & Sons) and they were involved in the wholesaling of sugar. Their principal refineries were in Hatvan, Sárvár and Šurany (Nagy Surany, Nagysurány). The Treaty of Trianon affected the family only slightly, since their wealth was based upon refineries in the Great Plain and Transdanubia, and upon arable land. Their true home remained the Great Hungarian Plain and Budapest.." AND yivoencyclopedia "The Hatvany-Deutsch family played a decisive role for several generations in the economic and later the cultural life of Hungary.. In addition to their produce business, they worked in banking and insurance and were the chief contractors constructing the Košice, Slovakia - Ödenburg and Munkács–Beszkid railway lines. The firm also helped to establish flour mills in Budapest and, later, in rural areas. When the stock market crashed in 1873, the family was able to double its possessions. After the economic crisis, the ownership of Concordia Power Mill was almost exclusively in the Deutsch family’s hands. At the time of his death, Ignác Deutsch left an estate worth more than 2 million Hungarian forints to his heirs.."

Note: Jewish encl., wikipedia "..Sándor Deutsch de Hatvan joined the family trading business, and with the help of his cousins, made it into a major player in the sugar industry. Through their firm, Ignatz Deutsch & Sons, founded in Arad in 1822 and later moved to Budapest, the cousins grew sugar beet on large estates, set up refineries across Hungary for processing and exported their sugar on world markets. Although sugar was the source of the vast Hatvany fortune, the family was also involved in flour mills and grain trading, banking, among other activities. In 1908, Sándor was made a baron by Franz Joseph I of Austria on Habsburg page, geni, wiki became a member of the Senate, and assumed the name Hatvany-Deutsch. Sándor Hatvany-Deutsch participated in the creation of the National Association of Hungarian Industrialists in 1902, supported hospitals and sponsored a theater in Budapest.." AND yivoencyclopedia ".. cousins József and Sándor took over the bankrupt sugar factory of Šurany, Slovakia. With 2 other companies (Henrik Brüll & Sons and Henrik Kohner & Sons), they founded the distillery of Szeged and Timişoara (Temesvár), Romania. Later they essentially dissolved two other companies on their own and founded the sugar factories of Garamvölgy, Slovakia and Hatvan, Sárvár, Hungary. In the 1890s, the company controlled a 27 percent share in Hungarian sugar production. Not only did it manage to drive out Austrian competition, creating almost a monopoly, but by the turn of the century it helped to turn sugar into one of Hungary’s most important export products. While the family’s interest in power mills reached 4 million crowns in Budapest alone, they expanded to rural areas as well. Sándor Hatvany-Deutsch was the principal shareholder in 6 steam mills, and he also had significant interests in timber and paper production. The family had connections with other institutions including the Hungarian Industrial and Commercial Bank, the Domestic Bank, and the Hungarian Commercial Bank of Pest. They were elevated to baron status in 1910. József Hatvany-Deutsch played an active role in the life of the Jewish community; as a result, the minister of religion and education appointed him president of the board of directors of the Hungarian Rabbinical Seminary. At the same time, he served as president of the Israelite Hungarian Literary Society, which was founded in 1894."
Note: wiki, yivoencyclopedia ".. Lajos was an important patron of literature and a champion of modernism. He wrote major scholarly studies of the poets Sándor Petőfi and Endre Ady (the latter was his close friend). Hatvany was a leftist, liberal thinker who believed in the values of democracy and civil society. These beliefs were not welcome in Hungary after the dissolution of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy; consequently, he had to leave the country twice. After participating in the 1918 bourgeois-democratic revolution as a member of the Hungarian National Council, he moved to Austria and Germany until 1927. When he returned to Hungary that year, he was tried for defaming the country, as he had sharply attacked the regime of Governor Miklós Horthy that emerged in Hungary after the suppression of the 1919 Communist revolution. Sentenced to 1 1/2 years in prison, he wasreleased for health reasons after serving 9 months. Because of the growing threat of fascism, Hatvany left Hungary again, first to Paris, and then to England in 1938. He returned to Hungary in 1947, where he taught at the University in Budapest, received the Kossuth Prize in 1959, and became a member of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences in 1960. Hatvany is primarily remembered as a novelist, though he was also a poet and playwright. His major novel, Urak és emberek (1927; the first part translated into English as Bondy Jr., in 1931), is so closely modeled after Thomas Mann’s Buddenbrooks that it was mockingly called Judenbrooks.."
Note: wikipedia ".. His collection some 750-800 works of art included paintings from Tintoretto, Cézanne, Renoir, Ingres and Courbet, most notably L'Origine du monde and Femme nue couchée. Towards the end of WW-2 his paintings were looted by Soviet troops but some were ransomed by Hatvany. In 1947 he emigrated to Paris. In 1955 L’Origine du monde was sold at auction for 1.5 million francs. Paintings that were looted from Hatvany's collection are still hanging on museum walls in Budapest, Moscow, and Nizhny Novgorod.."

Note: hungarianquarterly cont'd: ".. The “Son” in the firm’s name was Ignác’s younger son Bernát. In 1879, with several members of the family and mainly as landowners, he was ennobled with the prename Hatvany, referring to a town in which the family had several business interests. The next generation, which too enjoyed a spectacular wave of success, was famous for large-scale industrial investments. Members of the family changed their name to Hatvany-Deutsch."

The collection, which was kept in the family palace on Andrassy út boulevard (Budapest’s Champs-Elysees), featured Old Masters mixed with Renaissance furniture, tapestries, sculptures and decorative arts, altogether approximately 2,500 pieces at its peak.
