History
- Although the Montagh family had land in Kanak (now Rumania) the Montagh
fortune was built by Mor Montag. - Lipot Montag was Mor’s father.
- Mor escaped with the rest of the family to Szeged / Mako.
- He had 12 children. Each had its own trade. One was an accountant, the other a
solicitor and so on, thus the family’s business was taken care of from within the
family. - He had an estate of 12 thousand kataszter hold (1 kataszter hold is 5755 m2) and
he rented a further 14 thousand. - He must have been a formidable individual. Not only because of the fortune he built
but also because of his civic contribution: after the floods of Szeged he organized
the rebuilding of the town using his own money. The painting made of him

citizenry. - When he died every son received 1000 kataszter hold.
- Mor Montag, when in Budapest, lived at 4 Andrassy ut and the family office was at 2
