Panteón de Guillermo Juan Rein
The Panteón de Guillermo Juan Rein stands in the San Miguel Cemetery in Málaga. It commemorates the Rein family, merchants and industrialists of German origin. Emperor Franz Joseph ennobled them, a mark of the standing they reached.
The story begins with Juan Guillermo Rein, born in Dahme in Saxony, who reached Málaga in the eighteenth century. In 1783 he married Ana Catalina Nagel Medina, and their children anchored the family in the city. Generations later the pantheon's namesake appears: Guillermo Juan Rein y Manescau, married to Concepción Arssu Marra López. The next generation produced Guillermo Rein Arssu, a banker and a senator in Spain. He led Málaga as mayor from 1899 into 1900, and took up the office again in 1903.
Guillermo Rein Arssu died on 3 January 1913 in his home on the Alameda. In the cemetery, the pantheon keeps the story of a line that ran from a Saxon trader to city hall.
