Bronze paint factory - Hermann Krakenberger

H. Krakenberger from Fürth (Maistr. 11 1/2) was in Güntersthal an der Pegnitz around the First World War. Because of differences with some neighbors he sold the factory to C. Eckart and moved with his production temporarily into rented rooms in Lauf. He tried in vain to establish a bronze factory in Bamberg and finally set up a factory with water power in Altendorf (Opf.) in a former mirror glass grinding shop, which existed until the 1930s, but was very far away from Fürth.
