Heinrich Lanz built a career in business at a period when the rules of commerce were themselves changing.
The record lists Heinrich Lanz as German entrepreneur, art collector (1835-1905).
Heinrich Lanz was born at Friedrichshafen in 1838. His recorded nationality is Grand Duchy of Baden.
Industrialisation changed the scale of everything: factories, railways, joint-stock capital and the first modern corporations.
He worked as entrepreneur and art collector.
His recorded holdings include The Cleansing of the Temple.
Enterprises outlive their founders or they do not, and that is the whole test.
That the business was built from Grand Duchy of Baden shaped it: capital, regulation and market size differ by country, and they decide what is even attemptable.
Heinrich Lanz died in 1905, aged 67. What remains is the enterprise and its consequences, which is the only durable measure of a commercial life.
