Károly Hatvany-Deutsch de Hatvan, Baron
Baron Károly Hatvany-Deutsch was born in 1863. In 1890 he joined the family business of Ignác Deutsch and Sons. In 1896 he married René Csányi. On 12 May 1897, the family was granted permission to bear the family name Hatvany-Deutsch, while retaining the nobility and the first name "Hatvani". On 23 October 1908, he and his brothers were granted the title of Baron. The press said that 'in recognition of their merits in the fields of economics and public welfare,' they were awarded the baronetcy free of charge. He had two children by his wife (Mariann Hatvany, János Hatvany). In 1911 he changed his surname from Hatvany-Deutsch to Hatvany, dropping the surname Deutsch from his name.
In the spring of 1919, after the proclamation of the Hungarian Soviet Republic, he fled to Vienna to escape the Communists. He then installed Red soldiers in his villa of power. After the fall of the Soviet government, the press reported that his former villa would not be returned, but would be requisitioned. In addition to his activities in the family business, he also took a leading role in the management of other companies. He was chairman of the Concordia Steam Mill Joint Stock Company, the Borsod-Miskolc Steam Mill Joint Stock Company and the Hungarian Rural Mill Association. In addition, he is Vice Chairman of the Cellulose Factory of Brasov Joint Stock Company. He is a director of the Budapest Road Railway Company, the Ganz and Danubius Machine Works Joint Stock Company, the Athenaeum Literary and Printing Joint Stock Company, the Paper Industry Joint Stock Company. In 1913, he became a member of the Board of Directors of the Hungarian Calculation and Currency Exchange Bank, Forgalmi Bank Aktientársaság and Hungária Bank Aktientársaság.
In 1923, a lawsuit was filed against the baron: the press reported that the chief bailiff of Borossebes ordered Károly Hatvany-Deutsch to pay 21 thousand Lei. The case arose out of the fact that the baron owned land, property and mills in Arad County. He was the dean of the Catholic parish of Buttyin, in the sense that he financed the parish priest and the parish cantor. Although the baron had sold all his property in Romania before the agrarian reform came into force, he had lost all connection, at least with the parish. However, when the latter asked for their remuneration, the Baron refused, claiming that his previous contacts were no longer available. When the parish priest and the cantor appealed to the local district chief bailiff to settle their request through legal channels. The result of the dispute was that the Körösvölgyi Savings Bank authorised the payment of 21,000 Lei, whereupon the baron wrote a letter of protest, claiming that the payment was unlawful. When the matter was brought before the deputy bailiff of Arad county, he annulled the decision.
He died on 30 May 1943 in Budapest.
