The knight of Serbia: Georg I. Weifert
Vitez od Srbije - Đorđe I. Vajfert (Georg I. Weifert) (1850-1937)
Abstract
A reputable industrialist and banker, one of the richest people in Serbia, Georg Weifert was, at the same time, a researcher, collector, patron of the arts and benefactor of countless scientific, educational and humanitarian associations. 'One should give away in order to earn anew', was what this great and noble man used to say. And he did have a lot, and he did bestow a lot, bigheartedly.
Sažetak
Ugledni industrijalac i bankar, jedan od najbogatijih ljudi u Srbiji, Đorđe Vajfert, istovremeno, bio je i istraživač, kolekcionar, pokrovitelj kulturnih delatnosti i dobrotvor naučnih, prosvetnih i humanitarnih udruženja, koja se ne mogu prebrojati. 'Treba davati da bi se opet steklo', govorio je ovaj veliki i plemenit čovek. I imao je, i darivao je, nesebično.
