Jacob Kabrun Jr.
Jacob Kabrun Jr. (1759–1814) was a wealthy merchant, book and art collector, and philanthropist who lived in Danzig (present-day Gdańsk in Poland).
In the late 17th century, a Scottish merchant named Cockburn established a German branch of the family, which adopted the Germanized surname 'Kabrun', in the Hanseatic port of Danzig.〔Thomas A. Fischer, ''The Scots in Germany: Being a Contribution Towards the History of the Scot Abroad'', Otto Schulze & Co., Edinburgh, 1902.〕 Jacob Kabrun Jr. was the great-grandson of the Scottish founder of the successful Kabrun merchant trading house. From September to December 1804 the future philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer gained business experience working for Kabrun's firm. Kabrun was friends with Schopenhauer's father, a member of another Danzig merchant family.〔Rüdiger Safranski: ''Schopenhauer and the Wild Years of Philosophy''. Harvard University Press, Massachusetts 1991, ISBN 0-674-79276-9, S. 52–53.〕
Kabrun built up and maintained an extensive collection containing books and several thousand valuable drawings, paintings and prints. By the time that he bequeathed his collection to the city of Danzig〔Matthias Gotthilf Löschin: ''(Geschichte Danzigs von der ältesten bis zur neuesten Zeit )'', Vol. 1, Ewert, 1828, S. 497.〕 it contained 339 oil paintings, 1950 watercolors and drawings, and 10883 engravings and woodcuts.〔Bahr, Ernst: ''New German Biography'', 1974, vol. 10, pp. 717-718. URL http://www.deutsche-biographie.de/pnd123660882.html (in German)〕 The surviving collection is now held in the Gdańsk National Museum.〔(Eintrag zum Muzeum Narodowe w Gdańsku ) at Euromuse. (Accessed 2. September 2009.)〕 Many works from the original collection were unfortunately looted or destroyed during the Second World War. The collection of Far Eastern art and the collection of antique coins had disappeared entirely by the end of the war. Kabrun also bequeathed 100000 florins to establish a Business Academy in Danzig.〔Bahr, Ernst: ''New German Biography'', 1974, vol. 10, pp. 717-718.
