Sigmund von Haimhausen is remembered in business for decisions whose consequences outlived the decade that made them.
The record lists Sigmund von Haimhausen as German aristocrat and businessman (1708-1793).
Sigmund von Haimhausen was born at Munich in 1708.
This was the age of chartered companies and long-distance trade, when a single voyage could make or ruin a house.
He worked as lawyer, jurist and entrepreneur.
What a company leaves behind is usually infrastructure, habit and employment rather than a name.
Sigmund von Haimhausen died in 1793, aged 85. What remains is the enterprise and its consequences, which is the only durable measure of a commercial life.
