Mitterteich was the first porcelain factory in the town of Mitterteich in Bavaria, Germany. It was established in 1887 by Ludwig Lindner but was taken over by a glass and porcelain retailer called Max Emanuel & Co. in 1895. At the start of World War I, the Bavarian authorities confiscated the factory from the British. After the war was over, Mitterteich’s business began to pick up and it operated as Porzellanfabrik Mitterteich, staying relatively consistent through the rest of the 20th century. In a sudden move that shocked the town, Mitterteich filed for bankruptcy in 2005. The company failed to keep costs down while also remaining competitive with other porcelain manufacturers in and out of Germany. Since then, Dipl.-Ing. Konrad Schmidling has taken over the factory sales in Mitterteich and continues to offer the possibility to obtain porcelain under the brands “MITTERTEICH – BAVARIA”. Mitterteich continues to be a porcelain name that many collectors seek out.
