Andreas Stockhammer

Andreas Stockhammer (Inhaber Karl Stockhammer)

Roßmarkt 17, Ried im Innkreis, Austria
Geschirr - Handlung / Tableware Vendor
The Stockhammer family consisted of the father Andreas and his three sons, Adolf, Karl and Otto. They were all listed as merchants. It would appear that whilst Karl stayed in Ried with his father, Adolf and Otto moved to Salzburg and opened their business in Vierthalerstraße 3, in 1898. Meanwhile Andreas died in April 1919 and his son Karl died, aged 49, in August 1920. It is assumed that Karl's son, also named Karl, inherited the family firm and property. We know for certain that he was in business in 1939. There is currently no tableware company listed at that, or any other address in Ried today.

Purchased steins from: Gebrüder Stockhammer
