    Greeff Brecht & Co, Barmen

    in the Huckenbach english translation by Greeff and Viljoen Johann Peter Died in Elberfield
    The firm "Ehrenberg & Leuschner" was aquired by Joh. Peter Greeff (Bornefeld) in 1829 and promptly renamed "J.P. Greeff & G.W. Sohn".Apparently it was the son Joh. Peter Greeff (Bredt) who brought tribute to his father in this way. He was a member of the Concordia Society in Barmen in 1824 and must accordingly already have lived in Barmen at the time.

    According to notes made by Joh. Peter in Dusseldorf the firm also produced other articles which were in demand in the market, e.g. snuff boxes, brooches, cuff links, tie pins, also brooches carved from horn and similar material.
    The main thrust thoughout was the metal button manufacture which had gradually conquered the whole German market and was more and more supplanting the French articles in foreign markets.
    The largest manufacturing centres were Barmen and Ludenscheid.

    Shortly after his marriage he established his own firm "Greeff-Bredt& Comp." In Barmen.Presumably with the help of his very affuent father-in-law.
    This was a factory producing cloth covered buttons, something completely new at the time.
    Later a weaving mill was added to produce the materials for the buttons. Other materials were also made there, especially "Lasting".
    The offices and despatch rooms were in the back building on 7 Reformed Church street, the weaving mill was in Gas street.

    He and his brother Ernst served on year in the infantry in Koln.
    The elsdest son Joh Peter was at most invovled in purchses and the first establisment of the firm.

    Notes:

    Joh. Peter Greeff-Bredt went to America with his son Ernst in 1858 and established the firm "Greeff & Comp" in Hoboken. Since Ernst remained in America while his father had to return to his business in Barmen, Ernst must be regarded as the actual founder of "Greeff & Comp".
    He took Greeff - Bredt & Comp to Toronto with his son, Hermann. He wrote poetry, an example is on p 65 of J V Bredt (1941).

    In 1870 he acquired the property Mallack on the northern slope of Barmen.
    In 1874 he was elected Churchmaster of the Reformed parish Gemarke.
    He was also secretary of the poorhouse of the parish and it was mainly due to his efforts that a new building was erected in 1882 above the cemetry in Klingeholl.(According to Werth-Lauffs: History of the Evangelic-Reformed congregation Bramen Gemarke,p.347)

    The street running past the cemetry was named Hugo street after him.
    In 1905 he gave up his share in the firm "Greef-Bredt & Comp" and moved to his son Hermann in Toronto.

    The following poem by Hugo Greeff proves his great gift for poetry. To date it has been impossible to ascertain what happened to the album mentioned.

    To our beloved father on his 70th birthday 25.3.1873.

    A large circle gathers with friendly greetings
    Round you on your natal day
    Forming a unified whole around you
    You alone shall be its centre

    Here you read storiues on every page
    In the greatest as well as the smallest style
    Still, read in every single face
    That, who created them, created much even in the smallest!

    And let your eyes rest with some pleasure
    on this cosy group of houses
    They have special value for all
    Through the wise and wonderful ways of God!

    Many pictures you will see of those no longer living
    As with the one that you loved best
    Your believing heart knows she floats blessedly
    IN that higher, purer, eternal light!

    And our present hymns of joy
    Thankfully raised to our eternal father
    Resound from the higher choirs:
    God has created everthing well!

    Thank him! in his grace He gave us you
    He led you with his shepards devotion
    He arranged all the paths of your life
    They all proclaim God's love

    May this book be an Ebanezer of Gods love
    Taht we thankfully dedicate to you
    May it announce to you in ever new merciful urges
    God will continue to show his mercy!
    may your fathers heart often take pleasure
    In this widely ramified circle
    And your hand go very often
    For a loving new journey through these pages

    One day another album will be opened
    By him that is and was eternal
    O would that everyone will be entered therin
    That now surround you in an united throng!

    Notes:

    "Er begrundete die firma 'Greeff @ Comp' in Hoboken (bei New York), ...."
    "Auf grund seiner erfahrungen im Deutch-Amerikanischen handelsverkehr und seines grossenanfehens wurde Ernst Greeff Amerikanischer Bizekonsul."
    And much more: J V Bredt (1941:66)
    After his commercial training he served in the infantry in Koln for one year together with his brother Julius.

    He started the firm "Greeff& Comp" In Hoboken (by New York), settled his first household there and obtained American citizenship.
    His parents-in-law in Germany suffered keenly from the separation from their favourite daughter and since Ernst also found the ocean journey very arduous he moved back to Mainz in 1865. There he regained German citizenship, in order to afford his sons the possibility to satisfy the requirements for militarytraining at a later stage.
    He then acquired a house in Haspeler street, Unterbarten where he took upresidence.
    This house was sold after the death of his first wife in 1873; the Paulskirche was built in the garden.
    With his second wife Ernst remained living in Barmen at first, but later moved with his family to Frankfurt am Main.
    In 1893 he acquired the castle Moosburg, Guttingen, canton of Thurgau in Switzserland, but used itonly as a summer residence for the time being.
    Because of his experience in German-American commerce and because of the esteem in which he was held Ernst Greeff became American Vice-Consul. The German government also acknowledged his work by conferring on him the order of the Red Eagle IV.
    As a keen hunter he had undertaken hunts at Brilon, Honningen am Rhein, Taunus and in Hungary. Blessed with great hardiness by nature, he was able to shoot several stags in the Carpathian mountains at the age of 85. On his 80th birthday he still danced the waltz and eye witnesses report that at his age he still ran after a moving tram and jumped aboard

    Notes:

    Otto Greeff, for whom a business career was originally intended, had a marked artistic talent, which initially tipped the balance in his choice of career. He became a singer, but after suffering a throat disease changed to actor.

    He started his atristic careeer by an engagement in Vienna. Presumably his voice impairment was the reason for turning to a business career after all. In this capacity he stayed in Vienna for the time being, then lived with his brother Ernst in Frankfurt for 2 years, and then moved to Kon-Lindenthal. He was the originator of the "Greeff Whistle" which served as recognition signal among the Greeffs for decades afterward ( From the waltz by Julius Schulhoff "Valse brillante"Op.5.)

    (Medical):He suffered a throat disease which stopped his career as a singer.

    Notes:

    Teilhaber & Co, New York

    Bernhard as well as his brother Emil lived with their families on Long Island in College Point, a small simple suburb of New york. They were partners in the firm "Greeff & Co." which their fathers started in 1857. The gardens of ther homes, near to the Sound were close together and separated only by the garden of Anton Rosingh.
    He was a brother-in-law of both brothers Greeff, Emil's first marriage was to Emilie Rosingh. Being neighbours gave rise to a special bond between the families. The atmosphere in both houses was essentrially German, and until the world war only German was spoken at home. Both families always had German governesses. It was a real little German colony in College point. The family Adolf Erbsloh, who came from Barmen was very close to the Greeffs.
    In the very musical family of Bernhard Greeff music was made every evening. The father played piano and the organ, the mother sang in a beautiful soft alto. In this way the children (born in America) learned all the wonderful German folk songs and childrens songs.
    This was recreation for the men that had a streneuous working life, facing a long arduous journey early in the morning to the office in the city and back to their suburb in the evening.
    Bernhard and his wife had an excedingly happy marriage and lived only for themselves and their children, to whom they were a shining example. Bernhards great goodness is shown by the fact that for about 30 years he played the organ in church every sunday, because the congregation was too poor to afford the services of an organist.

    Bernhard married Helene Pauline ROSINGH on 19 Jun 1873 in Norden, Ostfriesland, Germany. Helene (daughter of Gerhard ROSINGH and Gebhardine VON GLAN) was born on 13 Sep 1845 in Norden; died on 20 Jul 1919 in New York, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

    Notes:

    Sophie was born as the First daughter after 9 sons in the old house at no. 7 Reformed Church street, like all her siblings. After completion of her school training she attended a finishing school in Clarens (Lake Geneva) and following the death of her mother she had to run the household for her father.

    Notes:

    Paul first took up a career in business, but quite soon he started taking part as amateur in musical performances in Koln. In 1876 he decided to become an opera singer and took lessons from dr. Franz Kruckl.
    Soon after completion of his studies he found an engagement at the court theatre in Dresden, where he successfully made his debut as the Komthur in Don juan in 1878. In 1880 he went to the City Theatre inNurnberg, in 1881 to the Opera House in Kolnn, in 1883 to the Court Theatre in Kassel, and in 1889 to the City Theatre in Frankfurt am Main.
    On the stage as well as in concerts he showed a rich and much praised ability. His artistic repertoire was very large; he sang all serious bass roles and performed excellently in a large part of the basso buffo and humouristic roles. He had a large, textured and sonorous bass (from low C to high F and G)
    His large imposing figure and his characterization stood him in very good stead in parts like Hagen, Daland, Bertram, Mephisto, King Mark, Sarastro, Marcel, Landgraf, Osmin, Falstaff and others.
    At the Bayreuth Festival 1897he successfully sang the part of hagen three times and after his first appearance mrs Cosima Wagner sent him the letter to his wife, her reproduced in facwsimile.
    He was holder of the Medal for art and science.

    (Research):Anecdotes from the Huckenbach english translation by Greeff. Francois and Greeff, Viljoen.
    At the time when his youngest daugether could say nothing about his occupation, the distinguished opera singer, who could look back on a proud career and laurels at Beyreuth, was consulting Dr. Avellis, the throat, nose and ear specilist. The latter lay aside his mirror and grumbled:"you should pack in the damned smoking , my dear friend! it damages the voice box and causes chronic pharyngitis."
    But the singer would have none of that. "You might as well kill me on the spot, doctor" he answered in his deep bass voice, the very bass that ensured his success. The doctor washed hishands. "Very well, I will allow you two cigars per day, but nothing more understood?"
    "Yes doctor, much thanks."
    Paul greef left with a sly smile. Minutes later he entered the shop of his tobacconist. The somewhat stout dealer searched assiduously on a shelf, snatched a box and cried, before the singer could utter anything- aside from the greeting- "I know Mr Greeff! Your brand 'La Corona' here we have it already. Ten cigars at twenty as always?"
    Only now could Greef interrupt the flood of words of the tobacco-worn dealer: "You know nothing, my dear fellow, I may only smoke two cigars, my doctor has forbidden me more!"
    'Terrible" said the dealer regretfully. "not foryou, my dear fellow, please show me the greatest cigars, I mean the largest in size, that you have in stock." After a search they were found. It was a brand of Upmann, costing a mark apiece. Paul Greeff laughed: "Very good! From now on I'll always have two of these. In this way my doctor and I will both be satisfied." So saying he left quickley through the merrily tinkling shop door.
    This was one of the cases which gave rise to the "classis" saying of one of his best friends, the actor Kleinecke from Koln: "My friend Paul adapts the philosophy of his life to suit his requirements!"

    Notes:

    He became a businessman and went to England at an early stage where he ahd the luck to enter the firm of his cousin Robert Greeff "R. W. Greeff & Comp" (branch Greeff-Andre II) virtually as a junior partner. After a few years the urge to be independant caused him to leave the firm again.
    He came to regret this step, when the firm had developed to oe of the most significant in it's kind, while he himself suffered setbacks after many hopeful starts.
    The difficult times during and after the war, together with the unfavourable economic conditions played a decisive role in this.
    Although suffering from a serious heart disease from his 55th year he managed to win through every time by dint of his sparkling mind and his indomitable will to live. At the age of 72 he had to resign from his business activities as a result of his worsening heart condition.
    The sense of kinship which he had proved by deeds freed him from cares.
