Hannong (family)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Hannong family presented porcelain figures in the compagnie Strasbourg-Haguenau in Strasbourg in the 18th century. Century ago. Three generations of the Hannong family ran the Compagnie Strasbourg-Haguenau from 1721 to 1784 .

Karl-Franz Hannong (1669–1739)

Karl-Franz Hannong , Dutchman, was born in Maastricht in 1669 . He married Anne Nikke in Cologne and settled in Strasbourg in 1709 , where he worked with Henri Wachenfeld from 1721 and founded a faience manufacture. Wachenfeld later left the city and Hannong managed the factory alone. A second factory was established in 1724, which was located in Haguenau .

Paul Anton Hannong (1700–1760)

Paul Hannong, his son took over the management of the Strasbourg factory in 1732 while his brother Balthazar managed the factory in Haguenau. Balthazar sold his factory in 1737 to his brother Paul, who worked with polychromy and produced faience . After learning about the “Arcanum” by the alchemist Johann Friedrich Böttger , he had been successfully producing porcelaine dure since 1751 . In 1753 he got in touch with Madame de Pompadour , who was a passionate collector of Meissen porcelain . He probably hoped to get permission from a porcelain factory. Pompadour was already the patron of the manufactory in Vincennes Castle , the director of which was probably responsible for the fact that the French King in 1754 withheld Paul Anton Hannong's approval and also had his business in Strasbourg closed. On May 26, 1755, Paul received the privilege of setting up a porcelain factory from Elector Karl Theodor (Palatinate and Bavaria) . In the same year, Franz Wilhelm Rabaliatti converted an empty dragoon barracks into a porcelain factory on behalf of Paul Anton Hannoung . The structural prerequisites for the relocation of the Hannong factory, which had previously been located in Strasbourg, were created. This enabled the Strasbourg glaze mill and kilns to be relocated. Paul immediately started his porcelain production with Strasbourg workers in Frankenthal in the Electoral Palatinate . As early as 1756, the Elector Carl Theodor visited the Frankenthal factory, which had already produced goods worth 25,000 guilders. In 1757 Paul also took on workers from Meissen . The local porcelain factory was run by the Hannong family for seven years. With the change of location, the production of the porcelain base changed and now went from the manufacture of the gingerbread base to the rocailles base . The "Fabrique transparent Porcelains" was subsidized by Elector Carl Theodor and received the monopoly rank of a court manufactory.

Joseph Adam & Peter Anton Hannong (1739– around 1794)

After the death of the father, Paul's eldest son Joseph Hannong took over the management. In 1760, however, there were disputes between Joseph Adam and his younger brother Peter Anton Hannong over the " arcanum " (the secret production knowledge ). A year later, business failures followed. In 1762 the Hannong family had to sell their manufacture to the elector.
