Ernst Friedrich Büchel was a longstanding concern in Mehlis(Zella Sankt Blasii-Mehlis) and was founded in 1837. Sources give he was born in 1818 & departed this life in 1898. Either he was on the fast track to obtain his master mechanic's sheepskin or he founded his business prior to passing his master's exam. Looks as if the business faltered in 1921 or it was passed to a son-in-law or similar as Richard Ansorg was @ the helm.
