Moritz von Cohn - Biography

Baron Moritz von Cohn (19 September 1812, Wörlitz - 29 April 1900, Dessau) was a German-Jewish private banker.

As the proprietor of a private bank in Dessau, he advanced to be court-banker to the dukes of Anhalt and also over several decades administered the private fortune of the Prussian crown prince and later emperor Wilhelm I. He thus also made himself a strong financier of the capital for railroad construction, then developing in Germany.
