Brockardt Coburg
Brockardt Coburg (1868-1945) was a family-run construction company in Coburg , 51 of which were built or redesigned between 1868 and 1936 and are listed buildings in the city and still shape the Coburg cityscape today.
Company history
The probably oldest master builder dynasty of Coburg founded the master carpenter Johann Martin Andreas Brockardt, whose son Bernhard opened a construction business in March 1868. After his death in April 1892, the widow Sophie, daughter of the ducal Meiningen court and state master builder Johann Michael Schmidt from Sonneberg, in whose house Karl Alexander von Heideloff, who was involved in the renovation of the Coburg Fortress, took over the construction business and ran it, from 1918 together with her second born son Ernst, until 1945. Around 1931–1936 her first born son Paul Brockardt also worked in the family business. After Sophie Brockardt's death in 1945, Ernst Brockardt took over the business and, after his death in 1953, his wife Hede. In 1964 Helmut Brockardt-Riemann joined the management of the company now trading as Brockardt Bau-GmbH & CO. In the 1990s, the company built a new precast and concrete mixing plant with 10,000 m² of production and administration space in the Rödental district of Blumenrod on an area of 50,000 m². In 2000 the company filed for bankruptcy . The successor company Brockardt Bau + Beton GmbH & Co. KG has existed in Blumenrod since July 13, 2000 after Angermüller Bau GmbH took over the concrete mixing plant . In addition, there was the company BRS-Bau GmbH (Brockardt-Riemann-Suhl) in Crock, which was still owned by the family until the bankruptcy in 2016.
