Hoechst history
H�chst Porcelain Manufactory was founded in 1746 as the Electoral Manufactory of Mainz.
It is the second oldest porcelain manufactory in Germany and the only one in Hessen.
This privilege, along with a monopoly in the Principality of Mainz
was granted by the Crown Prince of Mainz, Johann Friedrich Carl von Ostein,
with this privilege came the prerequisite that H�chst Porcelain would keep the Mainz wheel as its trademark.
In 1977 the Dalberg House in Frankfurt-H�chst which was formerly owned by the Archbishop of Mainz,
Wolfgang von Dalberg, became the principal office of H�chst Porcelain Manufactory.
In 2002, production was moved to the "Porzellanhof";
a newly renovated historically protected industrial building, which dates back to 1906,
situated next to H�chst city park. |
