Wilhelm Jungmann & Neffe is a dress maker and manufactured goods dealers in the first Viennese district of Inner City , Albertina Platz founded 3. The company was in 1866 and was imperial court and chamber supplier .
history
In 1836 a Moriz Jungmann founded a manufacture and current goods store at Rudolfsplatz 1 . He later moved to Salvatorgasse. The relationship to Wilhelm Jungmann (1838–1914), who lived at the same address, has not been clearly established; Moriz was probably the father or uncle. Wilhelm Jungmann came from St. Georgen in today's Slovakia. In 1866 he opened the fabric shop at Rudolfsplatz 1, later he moved to Salvatorgasse 3–5. The success came soon, Jungmann was known for the high quality of the fabrics, which he mostly obtained from Bohemia and Austria. Not only were fabrics offered, but there was also a tailor's shop on the upper floor.
Since Wilhelm Jungmann had no children, he took his sister Fanny's son , Wilhelm Dukes (1849–1938), who was also born in Komorn , Slovakia, into the company. From then on, the company was called "Wilhelm Jungmann & Neffe". In 1881 Jungmann moved into the newly built shops at the Hotel Sacher according to plans by the architect Otto Hieser . The ceiling painting of the allegory on the textile trade comes from Franz Lefler .
In 1881 he was appointed imperial and royal purveyor and Italian purveyor to the court, a privilege that Jungmann held until the end of the Italian monarchy in 1945. Well-to-do customers of the aristocracy and the court were regular customers. Countess Sophie Chotek von Chotkowa , Baroness Mary Vetsera , Empress Auguste Victoria and Empress Elisabeth can also be found in the order books . Jungmann later became the chamber supplier to Archduchess Maria Josepha , the mother of Emperor Karl I , in 1906 , and supplier to Princess Pauline von Metternich and the Duchess of Württemberg.
After the death of Wilhelm Jungmann, Wilhelm Dukes became the sole owner. The company was even able to present its creations in the USA . The company struggled with the First World War and the collapse of the monarchy in 1918. In 1919 Wilhelm Dukes took on his two grandchildren Paul and Leo. Wilhelm Dukes stayed in the business until his death in 1938. Paul Dukes took over the shop in 1940, but had to put it under judicial administration due to a lack of heirs.
In 1942 Jungmann was acquired by Walter Suchy, who worked in the textile industry. He came from the family who ran the company " Carl Suchy & Sons " (founded in 1760) and who were purveyors to the court themselves. The company survived the Second World War because it was able to save its holdings from looting. Walter Suchy died in 1957, after which his daughter Margarete Suchy took over and in 1977 their daughter Magda Neunteufel.
Until the 1930s, the range consisted of women's fabrics and accessories, but has now almost completely changed to men's fashion. The store in Vienna has around 1500 valuable men's cloth fabrics in its range.
After 2000, the managing director Georg Gaugusch tapped the clientele from the order books of the kuk era.
business
The shop across from the Albertina in Vienna is historic and listed and does not even have central heating in order not to damage the valuable wood paneling. The ceiling looks like it's carved out of dark wood, in reality it's a stucco ceiling with a brown tint to make it look like wood grain. In the ceiling is a fresco by Franz Lefler , which shows an allegory of the silk manufacture with three angels. The first angel holds a mulberry branch , a second carries a spindle , the third holds the finished fabric in his hands. Three silk spider butterflies flutter around the angels .
