In 1867 Haggenmacher bought a brewery. Already in 1875 the brewery became the third largest producer in Hungary. After World War I, the Dreher brewery, First Hungarian Stock-limited brewery and Haggenmacher brewery had to merge and the production was centralized in Kobanya. Thereupon the Haggenmacher premises became a storage facility.[2]
He married in 1854 Maria Magdalena Liechti (1834-1889).[5] They had together 12 children. They were both Calvinists.
