Translations:Otto Eckart (Da VIII 23)/11/en

From revolutionary Kiel, the family of Otto and Anita Eckart soon moved back to Bavaria, which before long was to undergo revolution as well. On December 6, Fritz Eckart, Otto and Anita’s third son, was born in Munich. In 1919, the family lived at the address Grillparzerstrasse 43 again and continued to spend a lot of time in Poing. The former schoolhouse was further modified, and the estate was extended with the purchase of several neighboring plots of land. The family and also the company "Johs. Eckart" survived the currency crisis and the hyperinflation that followed the war. The family’s sixth child, Horst Eckart, was born in April 1921, the seventh, Ingeburg Eckart, in July 1923. Otto was appointed to the supervisory board of the company Donau-Ost AG in 1923 and spent some time away on business in Turkey, Palestine, and Egypt. In the family business "Johs. Eckart", though, there was growing tension between Otto and his nephew Hanns Eckart. Eventually, Otto left the company in 1926 and took over a bankrupt canning factory in Ettmansdorf, near Schwandorf. With the help of Anita and his eldest son Werner, he tried to put the company back on a successful track. Werner had to quit school to do so but received his father’s stamp collection as compensation.
