Family history Barão de Mauá

Baron of Mauá

Die Geschichte des Hauses Mauá ist vor allem die Geschichte eines außergewöhnlichen Aufstiegs. Irineu Evangelista de Sousa wurde 1813 in Arroio Grande im Süden Brasiliens geboren. Seine Eltern, João Evangelista de Ávila e Sousa und Mariana de Jesus Batista de Carvalho, gehörten zu einer Familie Landbesitzer, die Viehzucht und die Herstellung von Trockenfleisch betrieb. Früh verlor Irineu seinen Vater und kam unter die Obhut seines Onkels, eines Kapitäns im Küstenhandel.

Als Kind zog er nach Rio de Janeiro und begann hinter einem Ladentisch. Bei dem schottischen Kaufmann Richard Carruthers lernte er Buchhaltung, Englisch und Geschäftsmethoden. Aus dem aufmerksamen Angestellten wurde bald ein Partner und schließlich ein selbstständiger Unternehmer. 1841 heiratete er seine Nichte Maria Joaquina de Sousa Machado; Familie und Arbeit bildeten fortan den Mittelpunkt seines weitgespannten Lebens.

Nach einer Reise nach England erkannte Irineu die Kraft von Dampfmaschinen, Eisenbahnen und industrieller Fertigung. 1846 eröffnete er in Niterói die Gießerei und Werft Ponta da Areia, die in rund einem Jahrzehnt etwa siebzig Schiffe baute. Es folgten Gasbeleuchtung für Rio, Dampfschifffahrt auf dem Amazonas, Banken, Straßenbahnen und ein Unterseekabel für den Telegraphenverkehr.

His most famous work was Brazil’s first railway. On April 30, 1854, Emperor Pedro II opened the line from the port of Mauá to Petrópolis. On the same day, Irineu was given the title Barão de Mauá; in 1874, he became Visconde de Mauá. As a multiple elected representative, he combined economic ideas with public engagement.

Finanzielle Krisen stellten sein Unternehmen später vor schwere Prüfungen, doch Irineu ordnete seine Verpflichtungen mit bemerkenswerter Ausdauer. Als er 1889 starb, hinterließ er weit mehr als einen Adelstitel: Häfen, Schienen, Schiffe und Kommunikationswege machten seinen Namen zum Sinnbild für unternehmerischen Mut. Familie, Archive, Museen und sogar die Stadt Mauá tragen diese Erinnerung weiter.
