from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Max Ludloff (born May 23, 1839 in Sondershausen ; † February 25, 1911 in Kiedrich ) was a German businessman and entrepreneur .

Life

Max Ludloff was a son of Friedrich Carl Ludloff and brother of Friedrich and Carl Ludloff .

Education and independence

He was trained commercially in Nordhausen , Mainz and Prague . He then went into business for himself in Vienna around 1863. In 1863 he founded a factory for artificial mineral water under the company Reinhardt & Ludloff . Around 1865 he was registered in Vienna as a general goods dealer in the Ludloff & Hauptig company .

Director and owner of porcelain factories

From 1866 to 1872 he was director of the Dallwitz porcelain factory . His brother Carl temporarily worked as the factory's accountant. From 1868 Max Ludloff had the Dallwitz manor, to which the factory belonged, restored and the neglected park looked after.

From 1875 to 1880 he was director of the Berliner Porzellan-Manufaktur AG (formerly FA Schumann ) in Alt-Moabit, and from 1877/1878 he was chairman of the Association of Ceramic Craftsmen in Germany . He became the driving force behind the massive lobbyist protests which, based on the recommendation of the Ministry of Commerce to reorganize the KPM , wanted to limit the supremacy. Schomburg, another porcelain manufacturer and former employee, and Ludloff asked their colleagues to take a position against KPM's sales practices at the time. The commission of artists set up in June 1878 only granted the state enterprise to cover costs but not to optimize profits in order not to compete with the private sector in any significant way. Ludloff contributed to the growth and popularity of the Berlin porcelain factory .

In 1880 he and his brother Friedrich founded the Berlin porcelain factory M. Ludloff & Co. He left Berlin and the company in 1888 and took over the management of the Fraureuth porcelain factory in Fraureuth near Werdau . In 1892 Max Ludloff fell ill and had to relinquish the management of the porcelain factory.

Ludloff also sent sound samples to Hermann August Seger .

Spa

After his convalescence, he acquired Bad Kiedrich near Eltville am Rhein in 1893 , which he converted into a stock corporation and owned until his death. The Virchow spring (since 1888), which belongs to the bath , is characterized as a "warm, earth-muriatic salt spring". Around 1900 the source was analyzed several times by Heinrich Fresenius on behalf of Ludloff .

Max Ludloff was married and had a total of nine children, including Rudolf Max Ludloff .

Trivia

In 1868, Ludloff was forced to make a contradicting statement concerning the content of an article on Dallwitz, where Dallwitz was described as a place in danger of falling into neglect.
