The founder was Wilhelm Merkelbach whose family pottery traditions had dated bach to 17th century. The pottery was developed by his son Reinhold Merkelbach. After his death the Merkelbach Manufaktur was managed by widow Toska Merkelbach and in 1907 it was overtaken by sons Paul and Reinhold Merkelbach. The sons of Toska Merkelbach died in the WWI. Toska Merkelbach had to manage the company again in order to save manufactory for her grandson Reinhold Paul Bernhard Merkelbach who was born in 1918. Professor Reinhold Paul Bernhard Merkelbach who was a scientist took over a factory in 1957. In 1971 50 percent of the company was bought by W. Goebel AG. In 1985 Goebel overtook remaining 50 percent of the downsized company. In 1988 Merkelbach family along with a collector and some workers repurchased the factory. Production had to be stopped around 2007 when it became clear that further production of ceramics in Germany was no longer a viable option. Best selling molds were transferred to Töpferei Girmscheid Höhr-Grenzhausen." Please click the Shipping and Payments tab above for estimated delivery dates. Packed with care as always!
