On the 8th of February, Stiegelmeyer looks back on its long tradition as a family-run company with particular pride: It is the birthday of Dietrich von Hollen (1887-1970), the legendary managing director, who ran our company for more than 50 years from 1919 until his death. With untiring energy, Dietrich von Hollen steered Stiegelmeyer through the upheavals of the 20th century and inspired his team to ever new innovations and excellence. For his contribution to East Westphalian economic history, he was honoured with the German Federal Cross of Merit on his 70th birthday (February 8, 1957). Dietrich von Hollen (pictured left) was the great-great uncle of today's shareholder family Kemmler. #tbt #throwback #StiegelmeyerThrowback
