About Roschütz

Porcelain production in Roschütz lasted from 1811 to 1991. The von Brandenstein family established the factory using local kaolin deposits; it later changed hands repeatedly. Bernhard Schilde and Karl Unger bought it in 1882 and renamed it Roschützer Porzellanfabrik Unger & Schilde. It was rebuilt after a destructive fire in 1886. After nationalization it became VEB Porzellanwerk Roschütz in 1953 and joined the Kahla combine in 1968. It closed in 1991.
