Guido Elbogen

[note 1] Of the children of Rabbi Isak Elbogen (1812–1883) and his wife Friederike (née Pokorny; 1825–1906) he was the only one to survive beyond infancy.

In 1877 Elbogen and his family moved from Paris to Vienna, where he took up the post of President of the Anglo-Austrian Bank.

[3][4][5] In 1865, Elbogen submitted a proposal for a lottery savings bank, an idea that was taken up in Italy in 1880 and debated in the Italian Parliament, but was not approved.

Elbogen and his family moved to Vienna when he joined the Anglo-Austrian Bank; he also bought a country estate, Schloss Thalheim, in Lower Austria.

[note 2][9] They had three daughters and a son: Elbogen died on 10 December 1918 at Schloss Thalheim, aged 72.
