NOTE: The Erdmann Schlegelmilch Porcelain Factory was established in Suhl, Thuringia, Germany, by Leonard Schlegelmilch and his two brothers. The factory was founded in 1861 and named by the brothers in honor of their father, Erdmann. Leonard died in 1899. The business was overtaken by his son Julius Martin. It gradually grew until the beginning of the WWI. The factory continued production until the Great Depression. There were some efforts to return to the market but finally in 1937 the factory was closed. NOTE: Germany saw one of the worst depressions on record and sky-rocketing unemployment. Germany's slump was aggravated by a severe banking crisis in the summer of 1931, which helped turn an ordinary recession into the Great Depression.
