Felix Herwig Kuntz, a historian and philanthropist from New Orleans, attended parochial school, Boys’ High School, and McCallie Military School in Chattanooga, Tennessee. After military school, he worked at Germania National Bank and the Texaco Company in El Paso, Texas. Upon returning to New Orleans, he became a dealer for Texaco.
A World War I Navy veteran, Mr. Kuntz entered the real estate business in New Orleans post-war. He developed several subdivisions and played a key role in the development of the Lakeview area of the city. Although he retired from the real estate business, he remained active in real estate investments until his death.
Mr. Kuntz amassed a significant collection of books and manuscripts of historical interest, which is now housed in the Howard Tilton Memorial Library at Tulane University. This collection, donated in memory of his parents, is known as the Rosemonde E. and Emile Kuntz Collection.
Felix was eulogized by Pie Dufour in The States Item PAGE SIX New Orleans, Louisiana, Saturday, August 14, 1971 with the byline: “Felix Kuntz’s Gentility, Gentleness, and Warmth”.
