Our history<\/h1><\/div>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Franz Winter (Grandfather)<\/strong>
\nBorn on 22.03.1898, died 25.11.1975, was a trained master baker and saddled in 1924 to the profession of horse-drawn carriages because he was not particularly enthusiastic about getting up early.<\/p>\n

He led the operation for 37 years until 1961. In his time he drove the carriage with one horse, this horse was also used for various other works (eg for the transport of wood and gravel). In winter, the horse was given to a farmer because the maintenance would have been too expensive, or it was sold and then a new horse was bought in spring.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Franz<\/span> Winter<\/span> sen<\/span>. (<\/span>Father),<\/strong>
\nborn on<\/span> 19.01.1938<\/span>, a trained locksmith<\/span> took over<\/span> from his father in 1961.<\/span><\/p>\n

He drove<\/span> with one horse<\/span> up to the early<\/span> 70’s<\/span> and<\/span> then<\/span> turned<\/span> to<\/span> the company<\/span> to operate with<\/span> two horses<\/span>. He led<\/span> the operation<\/span> with<\/span> a total of five<\/span> horses<\/span> until 1996<\/span>, when he retired<\/span>. But until now,<\/span> he could<\/span> not quite<\/span> separate<\/span> from the<\/span> company and still helps out with joy<\/span>, together with his wife<\/span> Franziska<\/span>.<\/p>\n<\/div>
