Carl Johannes Schlenker
Carl Johannes Schlenker (born June 5, 1861 - † October 22, 1936 in Stuttgart ) was a German watchmaker .
His grandfather Johannes Schlenker (1787–1864) started his own business as a master watchmaker in Schwenningen in 1822 . His son Christian Schlenker († 1885) handed the company over to his son Carl Johannes Schlenker and his brother-in-law Jakob Kienzle on April 18, 1883 . Since then the company has been called "Schlenker & Kienzle" (see Kienzle watches ). The clocks, which were now factory-produced, were identified by the so-called impeller. In 1897, Carl Johannes Schlenker left the joint company.
With his wife Anna Maria, geb. Schuler (born November 13, 1866) he had two daughters. Due to his services, he was appointed Privy Councilor by the Württemberg royal family. He found his final resting place in the forest cemetery in Stuttgart.
