Bartoň-Dobenín (entrepreneurial family)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The entrepreneurial family Bartoň-Dobenín (until 1912 Bartoň , then until 1918 Bartoň von Dobenin ; Czech Bartoňové z Dobenína ) were successful textile producers in the East Bohemian area around Náchod . As early as 1908, the company, which at that time was considered the most modern in Europe, employed around 800 workers in its factories in Staré Město nad Metují ( Old Town ) and Bražec ( Braschetz ). The senior boss Josef Bartoň was given the title "Knight of Dobenín" by Emperor Franz Joseph I in 1912 because of his successful business activities and for his commitment to the common good . The survey also applied to his descendants. Until 1918 they were one of the youngest noble families in Bohemia or the Austro-Hungarian monarchy . Since the establishment of Czechoslovakia and the abolition of the nobility predicates in 1918, they have been using the Bartoň-Dobenín spelling for their family names . After the communists came to power, they were expropriated in 1945 and 1948 respectively. Since the restitution after the Velvet Revolution , the Bartoň company has again been based in Náchod. It operates as "Bartoň, textilni závody, as"

Master list (not complete)

The family comes from Vysoká Srbská ( Hochsichel ) in the area around Náchod , where the Barton line can be traced back to 1635.

One of the ancestors of the Bartoň family is Václav ( Wenzel ) Bartoň, who married in Žďárky in 1762.

  1. The progenitor Josef Bartoň (born March 13, 1803 in Žďárky ( Kleinbrand ), † January 12, 1849 in Hochsichel) initially worked as a house weaver. After marrying in 1829, he took over his parents' cottage in Vysoká Srbská in 1835 . There he operated two looms. He sold the woven cotton and linen fabrics at weekly markets in Politz , Starkenbach and Náchod. He also bought woven goods from other weavers, to whom he gave the appropriate yarn. In 1842 he acquired the Seidl-Bleiche ( Sejdlovské bélidlo ) in Vysoká Srbská from Josef Falta , which he expanded to include a textile dyeing factory. In 1845 he concluded an agreement with the Franz Balzar company from Kanitz for the supply of calico , which was refined in Bartoň's workshops. At times he employed up to 300 house weavers. In 1847 he took over the representation for the Dominik Knězek company in Mistek . Shortly before his death, he bought a farm in Ž erwárky, which he wanted to convert into a production facility. He left two underage sons: František and Josef, who inherited the bleach in Vysoká Srbská.
