Carl Goldberg (* 1858 in Arnsdorf ; † 1945) founded a glass painting workshop in his hometown near Haida in 1881 . He initially sold his products through the Julius Mühlhaus company and von Gablonz glass dealer . In 1891 he founded a glass refinery together with Josef Kreysa , the management of which he entrusted to Josef Kreysa. The company focused on glass processing and export. The company immediately took part in international exhibitions (e.g. Vienna , Paris , London , Chicago and San Francisco ). In 1895 the company had more than 200 employees.

In 1897 the company moved to Haida. The company was modernized and production expanded considerably. The production of the refinery concentrated on lacquered, cut and engraved utility and luxury glass, which was mainly intended for export in addition to Western European countries in the USA , but also in China and India . The company has introduced a number of unusual painting technologies. After 1918 cameo glass was also produced in the " Gallé " style, which was labeled Colbert for the French and Belgian markets . Prominent designers such as Theodor Bienert and Gustav Schneider and glass glasses such as Rinhold Herrentin and Franz Heller worked for the refinery. The refinery worked with a number of Bohemian glassworks , e. B. also with the glassworks Loetz and Wilhelm Kralik . The company was represented in Berlin and Hamburg and regularly took part in trade fairs in Leipzig .

After Carl Goldberg's death in 1945, the company was run by his grandson Raul Tschnernich. After 1945 the company was nationalized.
