history
The master foreman Johann Michael Streicher (* 1836, † 1890) founded an iron foundry in Cannstatt in 1871 . This was supplemented in 1901 by a steam boiler factory, which Streicher's son-in-law Carl Simon set up. A steel foundry in Asperg was added as a branch in 1921 , the only one of its kind in Württemberg. Ten years later, a vehicle factory was added to the company. Special vehicles were produced for municipal purposes, such as suction sweepers, blasting and flushing vehicles, etc. Streicher also manufactured vehicles for rail maintenance. The company's history ended in 1982 with the filing for bankruptcy . The initials "MS" of the founder Michael Streicher are still on numerous manhole covers that were cast in Cannstatt.
The grave of the Streicher family is in the Uff churchyard . The Wilhelminian style Villa Streicher at Krefelder Straße 14 in Bad Cannstatt was used by the Buchbinder Colleg for several years and then had to be sold to the electrical engineering center of the Stuttgart electrical guild.
