    Notes:

    He completed his apprenticeship in Frankfurt am Main, where his parents were living at the time.
    Then he worked in Zurich and Bremen, where he had the chance to enter the chemical industry. Thereupon he went to England where he and a friend started the firm "Nolling & Greeff" which was short-lived because it did not promise sucess. In the year 1881 he founded his new business "R.W. Greeff & Comp. Ltd." which he brought to a considerable height. It became a global firm that was well regarded in the chemical industry and especially advanced in the manufacture of quinine.
    Although his work prospered, the World War caused him to retire more and more from his life's work so that his firm was transformed into a public (Limited) company. His testament provided several endowments from his great wealth.
