The tea house GmbH in Saxony Radebeul ( Meissner Strasse 45) is now the second largest production Düsseldorf Teapot group . It produces over 1.7 billion double-chamber tea bags per year . 70% of this is herbal and fruit tea, 20% black tea and 10% green tea. It was created after the Second World War from the expropriated Otto E. Weber GmbH through a merger with the also expropriated parent company of today's Teekanne GmbH, which was relocated from Dresden to Radebeul.
history
In 1882 the later Teekanne GmbH was founded in Dresden under the name R. Seelig & Hille . In 1888 the company secured the name “Teekanne” - in the spelling at the time “Theekanne” - as a trademark. While the company was continued by the owner family in Neuss and later in Düsseldorf after the expropriation in 1946, the expropriated parent company was relocated to Radebeul on the premises of Otto E. Weber GmbH.
In 1952, the expropriated Otto E. Weber GmbH was combined with the neighboring tea factory to form VEB Kaffee-Weber - Teekanne . The company, later renamed VEB Kaffee und Tee Radebeul , supplied the ocher-colored packs of the Teehaus brand, which was protected from 1954, not only to the entire GDR, but also to the Netherlands. The brand name arose from the transfer of the house name of Otto E. Weber's factory owner's villa, as he organized a "tea party" once a week for friends and acquaintances in his villa, which gave his hospitable house the name of the tea house .
It was privatized with the fall of the Wall , supported by Teekanne with orders in 1990 and taken over by Teekanne a year later as Teehaus GmbH.
The Teehaus brand has been on the market again since 1994, initially only in Saxony, and since 1997 throughout Germany.
The street-side painting of the warehouse of the VEB coffee and tea was done by the Radebeul artist Heinz Drache .
