SILBERWARENFABRIK ALEXANDER STURM, Vienna
Alexander Sturm was born 1851 in Vienna and received the business license as silverware producer in 1882. One year later he opened his own shop. After initial difficulties he finally succeeded to sell his products with the help of the so called nouveau riche Vienna society. In particular the families of the new bourgeoisie (Manner, Seligmann, Wittgenstein etc.) were customers of Alexander Sturm. From 1926 also artist of the Wiener Werkstatte worked for the company, which had its own design studio, where the artist created their designs for the silver manufacture. After the war Adalbert Sturm revived the plant and design drawings by Otto Prutscher and Josef Hoffmann entered in the inventory of the factory. In early 2000s Christa Berghaus Folster (1950-2013) saved and continued the business. She bought machines, tools and blankings as well as the comprehensive company archive, to preserve and revive the old Viennese silversmith tradition.
