Friedrich Ulrich Maximilian Johann Graf von Luxburg (born 17 August 1963) is a German-Venezuelan economist and philanthropist.
Biography[edit]
Jointly with his uncle (third-degree relative), Prince of Carolath-Beuthen and Schoenaich-Carolath, Friedrich Count of Luxburg created various non-profit organizations in Central and South America. The non-profit organizations are based on two pillars for the County of Luxburg, their tradition and their altruism. Internationality is therefore of crucial importance for such a long historical family comprising the Counts of Luxburg as well as the Princes of Carolath-Beuthen and Schoenaich-Carolath. The Patrician family called Girtanner from St. Gallen in Switzerland, being the original family of the County of Luxburg, founded once under the leadership of the banker Hieronymus Girtanner5 (1730 – 1773), who was married to Barbara Felicitas Wegelin and former owner of the Roman Bellevue Palace,[1] the oldest private bank in Swiss history, the Bank Wegelin.[2] The economist Friedrich Count of Luxburg, located in England and Venezuela, has been dealing since more than two decades with the impacts of microcredits in developing countries. Being an economist, he has been promoting the implementation of modern Corporate Compliances since 2003 in order to regulate or even to avoid bad speculation of private equity.
Philanthropy[edit]
Count of Luxburg, Prince of Carolath-Beuthen and Schoenaich-Carolath, the uncle of Friedrich Count of Luxburg (and third-degree relative), became very popular due to his major Art collection. In the 1980s he bought, among others, master pieces of Boticelli, van Eyck and Titian. His passion for Art collection goes down to his grandfather Karl-Ludwig Count of Luxburg, who left testamentary several of his artistic treasures to the Rietberg Museum in Zürich.
The attaché consulaire Eberhard Horst Graf von Luxburg, born in Switzerland, Zurich, great nephew of the German ambassador off-duty Dr. Karl-Ludwig Graf von Luxburg and grandfather of the economist Friedrich Graf von Luxburg, Eberhard at that time was working as a special envoy for Karl and was commissioned by Karl to perform the testamentary settlement between the museums.
The Foundation of the Counts of Luxburg[3] is named after its founders and is the result of a unification of two other foundations built by Prince of Carolath-Beuthen and Schoenaich-Carolath and Friedrich Count of Luxburg. The foundation promotes in particular Sciences and Arts.
