Looking for information about the porcelain manufacturers “Dr. Merkle Atelier” and “Uhlenhorst founded in 1849”?
Hello everyone,
Can anyone give me information about the following porcelain manufacturers: “Dr. Merkle Atelier” and “founded in 1849 Uhlenhorst”?
Hello, the Uhlenhorst Studio was opened only between 1959 and 1962, as there are different details. The “GEGR 1894” refers to the porcelain painting and trade L.J. Schulz. They had founded the workshop at the time. I don’t know if there was a family connection between the two companies.
In the literature, the Uhlenhorst Studio is also “only” as a porcelain painting. I could not find any indication that porcelain has ever been produced in the premises there.
According to “North Data”, the Uhlenhorst Studio was unsubscribed in the commercial register on 04.07.2014.
By the way, you will find an ancient website from the Uhlenhorst Studio in the web archive, even there are no indications of porcelain production.

Dr. Merkle Atelier. No reliable data can be verified. The brand is probably there since 1993. This was a glass and ceramic goods trade and wholesale trade. So it’s just a trade mark.
Here you can find narrow information: https://www.steinmarks.co.uk/page?id=601
There was also a Sykora in connection with Merkle and Ulm and if you googelt with this knowledge, you will find this pdf file. The website itself is offline. http://www.merkle-sykora.de/kataloge/Katalog_Theo_Kuehn.pdf
Short additional information can be found with collectors of, for example, reservoir fighters. You read the statement that the reservoirs of Dr. Merkle Atelier are only copies.
If you find other or additional relevant information, it would be great if you share it here;)
Thanks for your detailed helpful answer! Do you know if they’re still in operation? because I have not found an official web page for both. Kind regards!
Very much.
According to “North Data”, the Uhlenhorst Studio was unsubscribed in the commercial register on 04.07.2014. North Data refers to the data of public registers. The websites of both companies are offline and you can find nothing more of them.
Under the former address of the Uhlenhorst Studio, Hamburg, At the Neue Münze 6, there is also no more production.
This is exactly the same with the address of the former headquarters of Dr. Merkle GmbH.
Here you go.
Have a nice evening too!
Thank you for the elaborate research and helpful feedback! Good evening.
