The bank L. Behrens & Söhne was Hamburg's largest private bank and belonged to the Rothschild Group. When Eduard Ludwig Behrens (1824-1895), a grandson of the founder, took over the banking business in 1853, the family had already converted from the Jewish to the Protestant faith and was among the city's wealthiest residents. In 1884, Eduard Ludwig Behrens' two sons, Eduard L. Behrens, Jr. (1880-1923) and Theodor E. Behrens (1884-1921), joined the bank's management. By the mid-1850s, Behrens had begun to build an art collection of 19th century German and French genre painting, as well as landscape paintings of the Barbizon School. Behrens also owned a valuable porcelain collection. (English)
