After the first World War, production began in 1918 under the sole direction of Christian Carl Tetsch. In the difficult times of a global economic crisis, many customers bought pianos and grand pianos as value-preserving assets. A devaluation of the German mark seemed inconceivable, it happened several times a day by geometric progression. Many instruments were sold to the Netherlands at that time.
Until the outbreak of the Second World War, the Production output increased to 120-150 instruments annually with approx. 20 employees. Our brand was quite well known in northern Germany and the Netherlands.
A "concert piano" from that time still stands in our factory - a magnificent instrument with a double-damper for bass string and 141 cm in height. It is a design by Christian Carl Tetsch. The instrument is in original status and still well playable.
In those years we worked together with several other manufacturers, i.e OEM business.
The both sons - Ludwig and Heinz Tetsch, who were later the leaders of the company, completed their piano making training in company Taubert in Eisenberg.
After the outbreak of the Second World War, production output fell dras- tically. In October 1944, Emmerich was totally destroyed. All family members living in Emmerich were killed. |
