Moritz visited the music conservatory in Kiev after his diploma (graduation). He was a completed cellist, who later gave concerts too.

After the death of his father Ernst Moritz he took over the windhorn factory in 1896. However he wasn’t the suitable person to lead such an enterprise successfully. He had other interests. It would have come to an inevitable business breakdown, if his mother, Josephine Thekla, wouldn’t have taken the initiative.

Moritz, who later got the position as managing director in the Singer-enterprise, married Warwara (Warja) Nikolajevna Parchomenks, a dramaturgical actress. The marriage remained childless.

In 1914 Moritz got arrested and interned in Sibiria. He managed to escape to Germany in 1920. His wife Warja couldn’t live in Germany for political reasons. She went back to Kiev and lived in a small room in the house of Josephine Thekla in the Basseinaja No. 6. It was never determined where and when she died.

Boris b. 1897, d. 1917/1918 ?	Dimitrij b. 1899, d. 1917/1918  ?

Because of his constant gambling debts, Caecilie separated herself from her husband in 1901 and moved with her children into the house of her mother Josephine Thekla. In a surge of jealousy her husband shot and killed his wife Caecilie with a bullet through her head. She was in expectancy of her fifth child.

Josephine Thekla took care of her grandchildren and gave them an exellent education.

Boris Stregunowsky studied law after the diploma and was drafted into the army. Sergei and Wladimir took an officers career after the diploma.

Vladimir entered the army at the beginning of the war and was soon after promoted to the rank of a lieutenant.

As lieutenant-colonel Sergei fell in the first world war. After the outbreak of the revolution in 1917 Vladimir and Boris joined the white guards. In 1917/18 Vladimir and Boris were murdered by the Bolshevists. Dimitrij, who wanted to be an artist, went to the academy of arts. Around 1917/18 he got the thypoid fever and died.

The entire family Stregunowski was annihilated in 1918.

His mother Josephine Thekla, transfered the management of the company to her son Moritz. But he wasn’t qualified for this task. In one and half year he ran down the company. Josephine Thekla got active. She immediately applied for liberation of her son Karl Josef from the military service in Germany. Karl Josef, who wanted to study after the military service, had to take over the windhorn factory in 1898 at the age of 21.
