Information About

Kurtis Froedtert




Although Froedtert originally planned to attend medical school, his father's health problems compelled him to stay close to home. He took over the family's malt company in 1915 after his father's death.

After World War II , Froedtert branched out into real estate development, developing the now-defunct Northgate and Southgate malls as well as Westgate, which was soon renamed Mayfair Mall .

Upon his death in 1951, Froedtert's will established a trust which designated $11 million dollars to go towards the creation of what would become Froedtert Memorial Lutheran Hospital .
