Lothar von Faber

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
1873 portrait of Johann Lothar Freiherr von Faber by Johann Leonhard Raab

Johann Lothar Freiherr von Faber (born 12 June 1817 in Unterspitzgarten[a] near Stein, Bavaria – 26 July 1896 in Stein) was a German industrialist.[1] He inherited the pencil company Faber-Castell (then called A.W. Faber) in 1839 after the death of his father, Georg Leonhard von Faber. Under his leadership, the company gained access to new sources of raw materials and expanded internationally.[2][3][4] Von Faber also played an important role in the introduction of trademark protection in Germany; his 1874 petition to the German Reichstag for such legislation contributed to the Act on Trade Mark Protection, passed the following year.[5]

Lothar von Faber married Ottilie Richter in 1847. The couple had one child, Wilhelm, born in 1851.[6]

Notes

[edit]
  1. ^ In the 19th century, Spitzgarten was the name of the part of Stein (now relatively small in area due to the later incorporations in the western part of Stein) that lies east of the Rednitz. The main complex of the Faber-Castell company is located there today. The Faberschloss [de] and the factory owner's villa are now within the borders of Oberspitzgarten.
