Eisch

As from the year 1914, Valentin Eisch, the founder of the Eisch glass factory, worked as a master engraver at the crystal glass factory of Counsellor of Commerce Isidor Gistl. In 1946 he started his own refining company together with his wife Therese, in order to build up a secure existence for his six children. Soon the existing glass factories in the Bavarian Forest feared the formation of competition, which they wanted to prevent by blocking raw glass deliveries to the Eisch factory. The Eisch family therefore was forced to establish a glass production of its own. In the youngest and smallest glass factory in Bavaria at that time, the first glass was melted in December 1952. Despite immense initial difficulties, the factory could already be extended with a 12 pot furnace already in 1956. Today, it is the third family generation that controls the Eisch glass factory. Since January 1993, the responsibility for the Eisch glass factory has rested with the juniors Julia Eichinger-Eisch and Eberhard Eisch.
