Georg Leib (March 9, 1846 in Wallerstein – 1910 in Munich) was the Royal Councillor of Commerce and ran a very successful real-estate company in Munich.
Georg Leib was a scaffolding-specialist. He was the head of the Bavarian County Administration. There are two streets named after him, one in Munich and one in Haar [2].
After the trademark tower of Venice, (St Mark's Campanile), collapsed in 1902, Leib donated the scaffolding for it to rebuild it. The majority wanted to tear the tower down at the time. He also built the scaffolding for the Dome of Milan, (Milan Cathedral). He also built the original Thalkirchner Bridge [3] - and the Sanatorium named after him in Haar, Munich. The latter was the first institution of the kind in Germany.
Georg Leib is buried in the Old Cemetery (Alter Südfriedhof) in Munich.
