Thanks to our company chronicle and our modern archives, we always have an eye on Stiegelmeyer’s long history as a family business. On 22 July 1902, for example, the young mattress factory Joh. Stiegelmeyer sent out a business letter – our first preserved letter written on the company’s own stationary. The most interesting part is the detailed letter head with a copperplate print of the building at its original location. When looking at the impressive compound it is hard to believe that company founder Johann Stiegelmeyer had only started with the construction plans one year prior. While the main building was still under construction he already added a horse stall and a shed. With its telephone connection and telegram address the mattress factory was at the height of its time. The energy with which the young company grew and established its name has been inspiring us all the way up to today. #flashbackfriday #flashback #stiegelmeyerhistory
