The founder Carl Warhanek (1829–1900)

C. Warhanek Company was a traditional food company that produced marinades and smoked fish. It was founded in 1858 by the Austrian-Czech entrepreneur Carl Warhanek (1829–1900), who made it a purveyor to the Imperial and Royal Court through his business acumen and innovative ideas . The head office was at Troststrasse 73-75 in the 10th Viennese district of Favoriten .

history

After the death of childless Carl Warhanek, his nephew Hugo Anbelang inherited the company. His daughter Clara married the later senior boss of the company, Stephan Gunkel.

The First World War and the collapse of the monarchy caused difficulties for the company, and 17 factories in the former crown lands were lost. In World War II, another four foreign factories were lost, the parent factory in Vienna was destroyed by eight bombs. During the Second World War, the company benefited from forced labor. In 2000, two former Polish forced laborers applied for compensation and in 2001 they were found to be right.

In 1953 the claim of a formerly "Aryanized" factory from the company Enenkel, Traun, was bought and obtained. In this way Warhanek came to a modern fermentation vinegar factory with a large-scale designer .

After 1945, the company headquarters remained on Prinz-Eugen-Strasse, the fish processing company on Troststrasse. In 1949 another company was opened in St. Martin / Traun near Linz, and in 1960 in Villach . In both cases, the location was selected based on the availability of workers. In St. Martin there was a refugee camp for displaced Danube Swabians , Villach was close to Yugoslavia. Over the decades, the company has employed more and more guest workers from Eastern Europe.

From 1979 the son of the senior partner, Dr. Gottfried Gunkel, the company's main shareholder. In the mid-1980s, fish processing production in Villach was discontinued, followed by Linz in 1989 and Vienna in 1993. The company was unable to counter the growing competition and monopoly tendencies of industry in Austria and Europe and consequently had to restructure and rationalize. The production facilities were relocated to Eastern and Southeastern Europe after the fall of the Iron Curtain in the early 1990s.

The former company C. Warhanek probably belonged from 2006 to the MatMar SE group belonging to Mautner Markhof AG (MMAG) as an independent brand. In 2008, Hans Peter Spak bought MatMar SE , which he in turn sold to MMAG , with all the brands it contained, for one symbolic euro and brought them into his HPS Holding . At the beginning of 2009, MatMar Austria GmbH became insolvent, but MatMar SE was retained as a holding company , along with the brands it contained, including the C. Warhanek brand . Production took place in Gallbrunn at the location of the former OZEAN Fisch- und Feinkosterzeugung GmbH (a long-established fish production company with the ocean brand ) under the new company name Fisch- & Feinkost Produktions Ges.mbH. This company was dissolved in April 2011.

The products, smoked fish and marinades, continue to be handcrafted according to the traditional recipe. The smoked fish are smoked in a special beech wood mixture. The marinades are fork rollers and hell rollers up to Russians . Currently (June 2011) the C. Warhanek marinades are produced in the Czech Republic (Delimax, as, Hodonín - CZ62870058) and packaged for Interfood GmbH (Hall in Tirol).

In the spring of 2004, the Wien Museum on Karlsplatz organized the exhibition “Gastarbajteri - 40 Years of Labor Migration”, which was documented by C. Warhanek, among others.
