'''Georg Fugger''' ''von der Lilie'' (1453&ndash;1506) was a German merchant of the [[Fugger]] dynasty.

==Life==

A son of [[Jakob Fugger the Elder]] and his wife [[Barbara Bäsinger]] (whose sons also included [[Ulrich Fugger the Elder|Ulrich]] and [[Jakob Fugger|Jakob the Younger]]), Georg was born and died in [[Augsburg]]; it became clear early in life that he would become a merchant. The "Ulrich Fugger und seine Gesellschaft" (Ulrich Fugger and his company) firm was the first general partnership in Europe and soon changed its name to the "Ulrich Fugger und Gebrüder von Augsburg" (Ulrich Fugger and Brothers of Augsburg) when Georg joined it. Ulrich headed its headquarters in Augsburg, with Georg heading its [[Nuremberg]] branch and Jakob handling international affairs. 

The firm was so successful that Georg was able to commission [[Portrait of Georg Fugger|his portrait]] from the Venetian painter [[Giovanni Bellini]] in 1474. In 1494, the firm made over 54,000 Guilders and the three brothers were also co-founders of the [[Fuggerei]], the oldest social housing project in the world. The House of "Fugger vom Reh" also ran a different Fugger firm at this time, though this was soon to go bankrupt.

==Marriage and issue==
In 1486, he married [[Imhoff family|Regina Imhoff]], daughter of a patrician of Nuremberg. Their son Markus (Marx) was born in 1488, followed by [[Raymund Fugger|Raymund]] in 1489. These sons made Georg the founder of the "von Kirchberg" and "von [[Weißenhorn]]" lines of the Fugger family. Another son, [[Anton Fugger|Anton]], was born in 1493 – he later became head of Jakob Fugger the Younger's family business and founder of the "von Glött" and "von [[Babenhausen, Bavaria|Babenhausen]]" princely lines of the Fugger family. This makes Georg Fugger the founder of all the extant lines of the house of "Fugger von der Lilie".
