The New Generation

As of 1900, a picture of the manufacturing plant at Jakobsplatz was shown in the letterhead.

In 1888, the next generation entered the business: Johannes’ son Friedrich (1870 to 1928). The economic situation of the company was good. For several years as of 1894, Johannes Eckart owned his own country estate in Grub, near Poing. There, the Eckart family grew peas and raspberries and established a poultry farm, managed by Johannes’ daughter Mathilde, called Tilly. However, five years later he sold the estate again and leased some crop areas from the new owner. That same year, 1899, Johannes Eckart purchased new factory buildings in Munich, at Jakobsplatz 3. Yet he did not live to see the move, as he died in November 1899 following a brief but serious illness.
