Life
Adolf Fiedler was the son of Christian Gottlob Fiedler and one of the largest industrial weaving mill owners in Saxony at the beginning of the 19th century. The seat of his company was Oederan in Saxony . He had other factories in Kalisch and Opatowek (both in Poland ), Wegefarth , Wingendorf , Falkenau and Berthelsdorf , the latter all in Saxony. Like other industrialists, he expanded into Eastern Europe. Fiedler founded his most productive factory in Opatowek, Poland, in 1824. After the weavers' revolts, investors found cheap labor and generous loans from the Polish state here. Another criterion was the water power available on site to operate the looms . The industrial start-ups were accompanied by specialists from Saxony and Bohemia . Fiedler's fabrics won many awards and were known for their high quality. The Opatowek factory employed about 600 people. Fiedler was also the mayor of Oederan.
He had a son: Eduard Magnus.
