[edit] Life

Franz Ullrich was born on the 22 July 1830 in the small town of Maikammer, Germany. He was the youngest son of an international merchant, Leonhard Ullrich, and his wife Regina Damm. After studying banking in Neustadt an der Weinstrasse, he founded a company with his older brother, Anton Ullrich, called the "Gebrüder Ullrich", and built an enameling factory in Maikammer. On the 17 November 1857, Franz Ullrich married Eva Katharina Schmitt in Maikammer.

The "Gebrüder Ullrich" company expanded quickly and later built another factory site in the neighbouring town of Kirrweiler. Having exhausted the local supply of labour and raw materials, Franz and Anton Ullrich searched for an appropriate sight for another factory. They eventually established an additional factory in Annweiler am Trifels, close to the French border. Anton Ullrich remained in Maikammer to continue the management of the Maikammer factory while his brother Franz and his sons, Gustav and August Anton Ullrich, moved to Annweiler am Trifels to oversee the operations of the factory, under the name of "Franz Ullrich und Söhne". The oldest son of Franz Ullrich, Eugen Ullrich, also remained in Maikammer to continue running the family winery. Franz Ullrich continued to live in Annweiler am Trifels until his death on the 21 December 1891.
