The factory was founded in 1897 and was taken over in 1903 and had mainly concentrated on items like giftware and shaving mugs but also produced small numbers of sets including moustache cups. 2] Porzellanfabrik Heinrich Winterling GmbH & Co. KG (1903 until 2009) Heinrich Winterling born in Rehau (Bavaria) is from the same family as the founders of the Gebrüder Winterling OHG in Röslau (Bavaria). Even if the marks used by the Heinrich Winterling GmbH & Co. KG and the Gebrüder Winterling OHG are very similar sometimes (especially after 1950), these are two independent companies. Specialized very early on coffee and tea sets, giftware, complete dinner sets and had 250 employees in 1913, 400 in 1930 and 600 in 1937. Next to nothing is known about this company; they were trying to set up a complete history and many documents had been lost in a fire that destroyed the archive. Latest news from May 15th 2009 stated that it was planned to dismiss all 145 workers and close the factory in Summer 2010 as there was no future for a midrange manufacturer like Winterling in the market, however the company and website already went down in January 2010.
