This makes Tuchfabrik Mehler the oldest cloth manufacturer in Germany and also the 29th oldest industrial company in Germany.
The company site in Tirschenreuth has a long cloth-making tradition and even Johann Wolfgang von Goethe was impressed during his visit in 1786 and was quoted as saying: “The little cloth-making town is beautifully situated.”
The fact that more than half of the inhabitants of Tirschenreuth earned their living as clothmakers in 1850 shows that the clothmaking trade has a long tradition.
