Gerson von Bleichröder
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gerson von Bleichröder (* 22 December 1822 in Berlin, † 18 February 1893) was a Berlin Banker. He was the eldest son of his father Samuel Bleichröder, who founded the Bleichröder Bank in 1803 in Berlin.
His bank maintained close contacts with the Rothschild Dynasty; the banking house of Gerson Bleichröder acted as a branch office in Berlin of the Rothschilds' bank.
Gerson Bleichröder was concerned with the private banking transactions of Otto von Bismarck and with the transfer of credits and/or placing of loans on behalf of the Prussian state and the German Reich. American historian Fritz Stern wrote a double-biography of Otto von Bismarck and Gerson von Bleichröder, Gold and Iron: Bismarck, Bleichröder, and the Building of the German Empire [ISBN 0394740343].
Gerson Bleichröder and family were made Prussian nobles on 08 March 1872 at Berlin.
