The King and Queen of Bavaria in Zamdorf (a District of Munich, Germany) on July 4, 1916
"On July 4, 1916, the owners had the great honor of being graced with the highest-ranking visitors, the King and Queen of Bavaria as well as Princess Wiltrude, in the factory in Zamdorf. Their Highnesses watched the cans being produced with the greatest of interest and it was with expert skill that they visited the gardens, the test fields, and the facilities for mushroom cultivation. At the end, a light meal was taken, consisting of the company’s own products, which their Highnesses deigned to give their full appreciation."[1]
Der Besuch war für die Familie Eckart ein besonderes Ereignis. König Ludwig III. hatte nicht nur ein besonderes persönliches Interesse an der Landwirtschaft; durch seinen Besuch machte er auch die Bedeutung der "Johannes Eckart Fruchtsäfte & Conservenfabrik" für die Kriegswirtschaft deutlich.
