Iron foundry and machine factory. The company was founded in 1845 by Friedrich Baruch Teichert. Initially, it was located at Kohlmarkt (ul. Partyzantów), where it manufactured lightning rods and later ironers. After the company was taken over by the founder's son, Friedrich, in 1876, it was moved to Wilhelmstraße 9 – after changing the numbering to 21 (ul. Senatorska).
When Wilhelm Gubisch entered the company in 1878, the factory operated under the Teichert & Gubisch name. It began producing woodworking machines. In 1900, the partners separated. On April 7, 1900, Friedrich Teichert accepted his son, engineer Friedrich Alfred, into the company and the factory operated as Teichert & Sohn. At that time, Gubisch began building a modern factory at Wilhelmstraße 21 (later 51).
The Teichert & Sohn factory was involved in the production of machines for all branches of the wood industry. Its halls produced sawmills and wood processing machines used in sawmills, carpentry shops and furniture factories. The company also produced machines and tools for the production of brushes and their wooden elements. Their products were sold throughout Germany and exported to Russia, Austria-Hungary, Romania, the Netherlands, Sweden and South America. In 1900, the number of employees was around 200 people.
The founder of the company, Friedrich Baruch Teichert, was born on October 31, 1815 in Lobenau. He was a blacksmith by profession. The company he founded immediately after arriving in Legnica made the Teichert family one of the richest in the city.
His grandson Friedrich Alfred died on December 15, 1939 at the age of 62. After his death, the company was run by his wife Anna for almost the entire war period. When the front was approaching, she and her two daughters left Legnica. She died in 1996 at the age of 99 in a nursing home in Bad Krozingen, Germany.
