Julius Caesar Czarnikow (1838 – 17 April 1909) was a German-born, London-based sugar broker and investor.
Julius Caesar Czarnikow was born in 1838 in Sondershausen, in the German Confederation. [1] [2] He was of Polish Jewish descent. [3] His father was Moritz Czarnikow and his mother, Johanne Bar. [2] He was baptized 1862 in Berlin, and married in 1863 at Holy Trinity, Clapham.
Czarnikow moved to England in 1854, [4] and he became a British subject in 1861. [5] He resided in Effingham Hill House and Eaton Square (1901 census), London. He married Louisa Ellen Ashlin (1840-1911), with whom he had 2 children : Horace (1864 -1933), and Louisa Ada (1867-1948).
Czarnikow founded a sugar brokerage firm, Czarnikow & Co., in 1861, which now trades as Czarnikow Group Ltd. [5] Its first office was at 18 Philpot Lane, London, [6] and the company later had offices in Liverpool, Glasgow and New York City. [1] He partnered with Manuel Rionda of Cuba, who admitted to Czarnikow in 1909 that he struggled to find the right chemist for sugar manufacturing. [7]

[9] Additionally, by 1888 he was an investor in the London Produce Clearing House, [8] and he served as its deputy chairman. [5]
Czarnikow died on 17 April 1909 in London. [10] By the time of his death, "he was said to be the biggest sugar broker in the world", [10] with an estimated wealth of £1 million. [8]
At Probate in 1909 his executors included Julius Charles Ganzoni (born 1852 in Austria, died 1949 in Cambridgeshire); the 1911 census stated he was a partner in a firm of colonial brokers, and his son Francis J Childs Ganzoni (born 1882) was a barrister.
