Biography
Thyssen was born in Eschweiler. After working with his brother in the banking business of their father, Thyssen was co-owner since 1877 August Thyssen's Styrum Mill Thyssen & Co. He held this position in various supervisory and management bodies of the Thyssen Group. Among other things, he was a founding board member of the Mülheim Mining Association from 1898. In 1900 he moved with his family to his newly built Villa Josef Thyssen by the River Ruhr.[citation needed]
In 1880 he married Klara Bagel, the daughter of a Mülheim publishing family[clarification needed] (1856–1918). The couple had three children: Julius (1881–1946), Johanna (1883–1887) and Hans (1890–1943). In 1915 Joseph Thyssen died at the plant in Mülheim an der Ruhr, having fallen between two rail car buffers during an evening patrol.
