In 1843 three businessmen - Nicolas Villeroy, Jean Francois Boch and Eduard Karcher - set up a glass factory based on similar works in Lorraine. The first employees also came from Lorraine, a region that was renowned for its glassmaking skills. The raw materials were delivered by timber from the nearby forests, and mottled sandstone from the Hostenbach pit. Light Bohemian and heavy French crystal items were made here, and the glass factory soon began to outstrip both local competitors and those in Lorraine. This continued until the start of the Second World War. The "Cristallerie" survived the war by producing simple goods; and after that it began to reconquer both the German and the French markets. In 1986 Villeroy & Boch ceased producing serial products in Wadgassen. Information obtained from www.erih.net |
