Founding of the Fruit Juice Factory in 1868

An advertisement for the fruit juice factory from 1873.

On May 2, 1868, Johannes Eckart founded the fruit juice factory "Johannes Eckart Fruchtsaftfabrik" in his apartment at Salvatorplatz 2. He sold the juices, mainly made of raspberries and blueberries, to the numerous wooden refreshment stands at the busiest squares in Munich, among others. These stands served "soda water with and without juice". Many of these refreshment stands were owned by Friedrich Seyboth, a longtime friend of Johannes’ brother Friedrich Eckart.
