Cans for the Military

The kitchen on the factory premises at Jakobsplatz 3.

In those days, the canning factory gained a new customer base: the military. In October 1900, the Bavarian Ministry of War ordered a yearly delivery of 6,000 cans of "ox roast", "smoked pork with sauerkraut" and "field meals". From 1901, the Imperial German Navy also ordered canned meat from the company Johs. Eckart. Prior to the outbreak of World War I, these two government agencies placed large orders with the company each year.
