Władysław Edward Kronenberg

Władysław Edward Kronenberg (June 27, 1848 in Warsaw, Poland – April 16, 1892 in Cannes, France), Polish engineer, industrialist and composer of Jewish origin.

His parents were both from families of Jewish origin, but were baptized in the Evangelical Reformed church, and brought up their children as such, including Wladyslaw.

In 1883 in a village near Częstochowa he began the construction of a textile factory, which was soon after sold to the Austrian company Hielle and Ditrich, due to lack of profitability of the project.

After the failure in the construction of factories near Czestochowa, he abandoned industrial activity and settled in Paris, where he became a composer.

He was married to Marguerite Lucie Chevreau (1859-1953), with whom he had a daughter Marię Władysławę (1882-1914), the wife of Joseph Raymond Anne Marie, Count de Maistre (1879-1955).
