Eduard Stanglmeier

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Eduard Stanglmeier (born April 30, 1893 - † May 27, 1963 ) was a German meat manufacturer. From small beginnings, he built up a manufacturing company for meat and sausage products in Plattling ( Lower Bavaria ), which became known nationwide. During the time of National Socialism he supported victims of the National Socialists in his hometown and received numerous honors for this and for his further social work in the 1950s and 1960s.

Life

Eduard Stanglmeier was born as the son of the Plattling master butcher Anton Stanglmeier. In 1913 he passed the master's examination as a butcher in Leipzig and then returned to his father's butcher's shop in Plattling, which had been in existence since 1830. After his death in 1923 his mother, Anna Stanglmeier, took over the management. In the same year, the company began producing canned meat, which was mainly delivered in tins . Stanglmeier supported his mother in the rapid expansion of the meat and sausage production and after her death in 1935 took over the company with 100 employees at the time.

He acquired a closed vegetable canning factory and expanded it into company premises. In 1938 a slaughterhouse with stables and the largest in-house cooling system in Germany was established. During the Second World War , Stanglmeier's company was committed to supplying the Wehrmacht . At high personal risk, Stanglmeier supplied the prisoners in the Plattling satellite camp set up towards the end of the war - a satellite camp of the Flossenbürg concentration camp - with food such as meat soups and meatballs.

After the war, Stanglmeier expanded his business. Sales branches were set up in Deggendorf , Hengersberg , Moosburg , Regen , Regensburg and Straubing . His products were known far beyond the borders of Bavaria . In 1960 he employed more than 360 people. He bought the school building of the former boys' school in Plattling and converted it into a modern social building with changing rooms, showers, dining and common rooms, a factory kitchen and a bowling alley for his employees.

In 1963, on his 70th birthday, Eduard Stanglmeier was honored by the city of Plattling with the award of the honorary citizenship certificate for his courageous actions during the Nazi era and his social commitment as an entrepreneur. He died a few weeks later. A street in Plattling was posthumously named in memory of him.

Eduard Stanglmeier was married and had two sons with his wife. He died at the age of 70 after a long illness. After his death in 1963, his wife took over the management of the company, after her death in 1978 the company passed to his son Anton.
