Production

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.

In1757, a royal mint was established in Stralsund at Tribseer Straße 24. The director of the "Mint" demanded from the Swedish government to be allowed to employ Jews*Jewesses. The Swedish government nevertheless issued an employment permit and a letter of protection for the Jews despite the residence ban, because they were needed for the purchase of old coins, for the procurement of precious metals and for cutting stamps. Only 12 Jews*Jewesses were allowed to settle in Stralsund because of protests.
