Celebrating the Life of Arnold Schonbek 1915 - 1999
Arnold Schonbek was born in Austria+Hungary
on September 6, 1915, the son of Arthur Schonbek and Maria Prenalek+Schonbek.
He passed away on November 26, 1999 at the age of 84. He
was a man of striking gentleness and great intellectual curiosity
and remarkable characteristics considering the many difficulties
he faced in life.
Arnold Schonbek was a seventeen - year - old
student when his father had a stroke. He interrupted his education
and took over the family business. The company had been founded
by his grandfather in 1870 and at this point all the family's
savings were invested in the business.
It was the height of the Great Depression.
Young Arnold, who must have seemed a mere child to his employees,
took the necessary steps to save the business from near bankruptcy.
The logical mind, personal determination and creative ability
to solve problems that were to carry him through a long life
of challenges were already evident in the teenage Arnold Schonbek.
With the business stabilized, he served two
years in the Czech Calvary. He learned to fight with a saber on
horseback. All his life Arnold was to maintain a high level of
physical fitness.
Perhaps the most revealing part about this
man, was during the Second World War he had checked into a hotel,
and the only book which the hotel keeper could lend him was a
biography of Czar Ivan the Terrible. It was about the worst literature
that a panic stricken person such as Arnold could put his hands
on.
"It was past midnight when I became so petrified that I
put the book away and found a Bible in my night table. When reading the Holy
Writ, I suddenly found myself almost miraculously in the presence of the
Divine. The Lord seemed to assure me that I would survive the
ordeal that was to come, and with this assurance, I fell asleep for
a couple of hours to awake refreshed in the morning and with confidence
that I could handle affairs as they would unfold."
After
World War II, Arnold Schonbek was appointed representative
for the Czech glass industry to the Minister of Commerce.
In this capacity he spoke out forcefully on political issues, defending
freedom and capitalism during the Communist takeover.
With
a thriving company of over 1,000 employees exporting worldwide,
he knew that his days of doing business under Communism
were numbered.
He
went to Canada as his five Czech factories were being nationalized.
He built his first chandelier by hand in a rented basement
and a new industry was born on this continent.
As
Schonbek's US customer base grew, he started over once more
in the United States, moving the heart of his operation to Plattsburgh,
New York.
Arnold
Schonbek's particular genius was to bring alive the past
using modern materials. He was always quick to invent something
new to realize his ideas, and as a result of his work and the
tradition of his innovation he inspired, the Schonbek company holds
an unusual number of design and technical patents.
Over
his lifetime, Arnold Schonbek's many innovations changed
the way crystal chandeliers were made around the world.
His life and work will continue to beautifully light up
this world...!
