The company of Messrs. Knackstedt & Näther (KN) maintained various photographic studios in Hamburg and Cuxhaven , a light and lithographic printing company and a publishing house in the 19th and 20th centuries .

history

On September 30, 1889, Wilhelm Georg Ludwig (Louis) Knackstedt (* February 17, 1865 in Peine, † June 10, 1916 in Munich) and Hermann Gustav Näther (* 1866 in?; † after 1925 in Hamburg) founded the Knackstedt & Näther, art institute for collotype and photography .

Hermann Näther apparently left the joint company as early as 1892. In that year, Ludwig Knackstedt and the photographer Gotthilf Constabel from Hanerau-Hademarschen founded a joint company based in Hanerau-Hademarschen and Hamburg. From 1893 the following entry can be found in the Hamburg address book: Constabel & Knackstedt, Art Institute for Collotype and Photography, Inh. G. Constabel and L. Knackstedt with the address Pelzerstr. 8, the following year with the address Eppendorfer Landstrasse 190, later Eppendorfer Landstrasse 106. In the Hamburg address book from 1901 the last advertisement can be found.

The Knackstedt & Näther company initially continued to exist. Ludwig Knackstedt is listed as the sole owner in the address books. The offer in the Hamburg address book from 1905 is: light and stone printing, chromographic institute, photographic studio for portraits and industrial photos . It is shown under: Collotype printing companies, postcards, photographic studios, art institutions and lithographic printing houses.

According to the entry in the Hamburg address book from 1908, Ludwig Knackstedt is the owner of Chrom. lithographed Kunstanstalt HAJ Schultz & Co Nachf. In Hamburg, Wagnerstr. Turned 70. Approx. In 1911 he made his daughter Juliane , who lived in Paris , a co-owner.

In the course of 1911, the Photographische Anstalt, Licht- und Steruckerei Knackstedt & Näther GmbH went bankrupt. The company was re-established on May 4, 1910 as Knackstedt & Co. at Wagnerstrasse 70.

The photographic studio at Deichstrasse 17 in Cuxhaven was founded in 1895 by Hermann Meißner . In 1896 it was taken over by Knackstedt & Näther . Ms. A. Jensen then became the owner (date of takeover is not known). Since the name Knackstedt & Näther was well established, the next owner, Adolf Hoffmann, continued to run the studio under this name (the date of the takeover is not known). In 1919 Harry Glocke took over the studio and continued to run it under his own name.

The company was often active for the Society for the Promotion of Amateur Photography Hamburg and its members. (today: Free Association of Amateur Photographers in Hamburg )

The company also produced stereo images for stereoscopes .

From 1908 onwards, according to the Museum für Kunst und Gewerbe Hamburg, there was probably a collaboration between KN and A. Bruhn .

  1. ↑ It is not known whether the Constabel & Knackstedt company actually existed that long. Prints by JB Obernetter based on photographs by Claussen & Constabel (Hanerau) are known as early as 1894 .

  4. ↑ The rear building was used as a studio for portrait photography for decades: from 1871 to 1887 by the well-known Benque & Kindermann studio ; from 1889 to 1892 from the Johannes Schneider studio, 1893 to 1900 from the Knackstedt & Näther studio, from 1901 to 1902 from the Anna Pätzold studio and until 1909 from the studio of Ms. Martha Bontemps.
  5. ↑ From 1910 the Albert Büttner Postkartenverlag operates under this address. There are imprints like Büttner Verlag - vorm. Publishing dept. Knackstedt & Näther can be found on some postcards. Maybe that's an explanation. The prestigious Boysen & Maasch bookstore was located in the same building.
