FRITZ M. WARBURG OF BANKING HOUSE; Last of 5 Brothers in Noted German Family Is Dead
New York Times, Oct. 15, 1964
Dr. Fritz Moritz Warburg, the last and youngest of five brothers who were members of a famous German and American banking family, died Saturday in Nezer Sereni, Israel. He was 85 years old.
For centuries the family figured prominently in German financial circles and the firm bearing their name, M. M. Warburg & Co. of Hamburg, was founded in 1798.
The brothers, besides Dr. Warburg, were Felix M. Warburg American philanthropist, senior partner in the baking firm here of Kuhn, Loeb & Co.; Paul M. Warburg, partner in Kuhn, Loeb, first vice chairman of the Federal Reserve Board in Washington and founder of the International Acceptance Bank here, which was merged with the Bank of the Manhattan Company; Max. M. Warburg of Hamburg and later New York, a partner in M. M. Warburg, and Dr. Aby M. Warburg, art historian, whose library was moved to the University of London in 1933, where it exists as the Warburg Institute.
The brothers were the sons of the late Moritz Warburg and the late Mrs. Charlotte Esther Oppenheim Warburg. The father was the head of M. M. Warburg & Co.
Dr. Warburg was born in Hamburg, received a Doctor of Laws degree from Rostock University, but did not practice law. Instead he went through a banking apprenticeship with Discontogesellshaft, a bank in Frankfurt.
In 1907 Dr. Warburg joined M. M. Warburg & Co. in Hamburg as a partner. In World. War I he was a commercial attaché of the German Government at its legation in Stockholm. Later he returned to Hamburg. He was a partner in the family firm till the Nazis took it over.
In 1938, Dr. Warburg, a Jew, was seized by the Nazis. He was held for several months and then released. He went to Stockholm, became a Swedish citizen and remained in Stockholm for many years.
For the last few years Dr. Warburg had been living in Israel.
Surviving are his widow, Mrs. Anna Warburg Warburg, a distant cousin; three daughters, Mrs. Ingrid Spinelli of Rome, Mrs. Eva Unger of Israel, and Mrs. Charlotte Schmulewitz of Israel; a twin sister, Mrs. Louis Arenberg of Ilkley, England, and 11 grandchildren.
