Life

Friedrich August Stichweh was born in the early years of the Kingdom of Hanover as the son of a white tanner master working in Hameln . His sister Johanne (1871) married the engraver and copperplate engraver Johann Heinrich Daniel Schuchhardt . In Hameln, Stichweh learned the dyeing trade and then went on a journey for 17 years through the countries of what would later become Germany, as well as through France and Switzerland and to cities such as Munich and Vienna .

In the early days of the industrial revolution , Stichweh came to the then royal seat of Hanover in 1853 to take his master craftsman examination. But the Hanoverian black and white dyeing office did not let him pass the exam, whereupon Stichweh went to Braunschweig to be examined again there. As a result of the not yet introduced freedom of trade , however, he initially had to undertake not to open his own business in Braunschweig - and then passed the master craftsman's examination "with distinction". With such a certificate, the Hanoverian guild was finally forced to accept Stichweh as a member: “The master book of the laudable black and fairy dyers of the electoral residence city of Hanover and the principality of Calenberg certifies that the dyer's masterpiece Friedrich August Stichweh that he was on March 24th In 1853 I submitted the masterpiece trials in accordance with the regulations. "

In the same year, 1853, Stichweh settled in Hanover and opened his first “dyeing, printing and French. Waschanstalt ”, initially at 30 Knochenhauerstraße and with a shop on Leinstraße. In 1860 he moved his business to Andertensche Wiese , where he soon ran “one of the largest companies in his trade”. In the 1860s he also introduced the then emerging “dry chemical cleaning” using grease-dissolving liquids in Hanover.

In 1866, Stichweh acquired the house at Marktstrasse 10 , which housed the company's first branch until the air raids on Hanover during the Second World War in 1943.

Friedrich August Stichweh succumbed to a serious illness on April 20, 1886 during the founding of the German Empire . Five years after his death, his eldest son Friedrich Stichweh moved the business to Limmer .
