A BIT OF HISTORY

Krautheim was founded by Christoph Krautheim (1854-1933) who was joined in 1889 by his brother-in-law Richard Adelberg. Originally decorators, buying blank porcelain which they painted, but from 1912 they began to make their own porcelain. After Christoph Krautheim's death in 1933 the firm was taken over by his son Richard. The last owner was Georg Krautheim and the factory closed in 1977.
