Felix Meyer

Life & Legacy

Felix Meyer (1875–1950) was a German industrialist of Jewish descent. He turned around and made a success of the family textile factory business in Germany. He was forced out of the business and fled to Belgium at the start of World War II. His son in law and daughter would later emigrate to Ireland.
Mayer and his wife survived the war in Belgium and helped to rescue a number of Jewish people in occupied Belgium. After the end of the war the family would eventually regain control of business bringing it back into family ownership but not before Felix Mayer had died.
