from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Carl Moritz or Porzellanfabrik Carl Moritz or Porzellanfabrik Taubenbach was a porcelain factory founded in Thuringia in the first half of the 19th century as well as a manufacturer of dolls , tin toys and small metal sheets based in Taubenbach .

history

The porcelain factory was founded in 1840.

From 1888, the company became known as a manufacturer of dolls under the name Carl Moritz . After 1893, however, the company concentrated more and more on toys and small sheet metal goods.

In 1904, Karl Moritz , the co-owner of what was then the porcelain factory , who had previously been appointed councilor , died. His son Max had his brother pay him off in 1919 and moved to Rudolstadt in the villa there at the - today's - address Gebindstrasse 7 .

In the meantime, the former co-owner and captain Fritz Meyer had already died at the front during the First World War in 1916 "[...] the heroic death".

The company continued to produce until around 1939.
