from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Felix Caspar Kerl (born January 4, 1802 in Platten , Bohemia ; † December 26, 1876 in Baden near Vienna ), was a privately owned lace and blue paint manufacturer, wholesaler, partner, entrepreneur and landowner. As a partner in the lace factory Anton Gottschald & Comp. he expanded the company to become the most important for top production in Austria.

Life

Felix Kerl was born on January 4, 1802 as the son of the manufacturer Franz Anton Kerl (1770–1849), who had been trading in blue paint, iron and steel since 1799 and was the first publisher of hand-forged spoons in plates and his first wife Maria Anna Josepha, née. Miesl (1771–1808) was born at number 179 in Platten and baptized the following day. His uncle was Felix Miesl , who later became a state official and mayor of Wiener Neustadt , who was raised to the nobility in 1836 with the predicate Edler von Treuenstadt .

Around 1826, Kerl entered the lace business and, together with the widowed lace trader Ludmilla Kunzmann and the lace manufacturer Anton Karl Korb , participated as a companion in the company kk priv. Lace factory Anton Gottschald & Comp , which at that time was still based in Hirschenstand . He was thus at the same time co-owner of the kk priv. Bobinet factory Breitfeld & Comp. to Prague. As a new investor, Kerl continued the company and expanded it. Through his wife, who was one of the Mieslian heirs , he was also a partner in the Miesl'schen Schmaltenfabrik , which at times limited itself to sales abroad and had a warehouse in Frankfurt am Main .

In the first half of the 19th century, Kerl founded a trading post for the Anton Gottschald & Comp. Company in Platten , which he managed. At that time there were about 200 lace-making lines in panels that worked for the main company. The so-called Plattner Spitzenschule was later closed again. Around 1842, Kerl acquired Gut Teltsch in the Elbogen district. In 1843/44, together with three new partners, he was given state factory authorization for the production of white and black silks, twine, lace, blond and silk tulle as well as gauze embroidery. In the same year the company brought a quantity of 1,400 quintals of linen lace into circulation.

While Joseph Kunzmann , with the guy since 1843 and with whom he was also the owner of the kk priv. Prague Tuilanglais factory, was running the company's new headquarters in Neudek , Kerl moved from Platten to Vienna in 1845. With increasing sales he had founded a company branch there, which developed into the center of the entire company and which he was in charge of until the end. In 1861, Kerl ran for the St. Joachimsthal district in the Bohemian state parliament . He died in Baden near Vienna in 1876.

Kerl also appeared as a benefactor, for example he had founded a Christmas gift foundation in Platten , which was intended for poor school children.
