Aurél Dobay Dr. de Nagyhanta
Born in 1871 in Budapest, he married Margit Beck of Madarasi in Budapest in January 1904. Dobay was then working as a lawyer and living in Budapest. In 1906, together with his father, Dr. Rafael Neumann, he received the Hungarian nobility with the first name of Nagyhantai.
In 1918, he was awarded the Order of Franz Joseph of the Order of St. John of the Cross in recognition of his activities.
The name of Aurél Dobay became more public during the collapse of the Viktória mill group. In the post-bankruptcy situation, it was Aurél Dobay who, as head of the Molinum Corporation, managed the process of selling the mills in the countryside. As the management of the company refused to allow the sale of the mills at depressed prices, Dobay resigned as CEO. The press therefore attached great importance to his role.
He was later appointed Deputy CEO of Magyar Bank und Kereskedelmi Részvénytársaság. He also held a number of other positions during the period. He was chairman of the First Pest Spodium and Book Factory Joint Stock Company, director of the Chinoin Pharmaceutical Factory, the Hungarian Calculation and Currency Exchange Bank, the Szikra Hungarian Gyujtógyárak, Diana, Győr Textile and Újlaki Tégla Joint Stock Companies.
