Line Robert: Councilor of Commerce Robert Czerweny of Arland

After the merger with Solo-Zündwarenfabrik (1903) he took over the management and headed four more match factories in Hungary. In 1912 he became the central director of "Solo" and was on its board of directors until 1938. In 1922 he took over the role of general partner of the bank "Bankiers Pojatzi & Cie", which gave up its banking license in 1928 and was liquidated in the same year.

Allemann AG

In 1929, Robert Czerweny von Arland, his adult daughter Elfriede and her husband Dr. Peter Engelhart founded the Hubloher ignition goods company in Grafenwiesen in the Bavarian Forest and renamed it "Allemann" Zündwarenfabrik AG in Grafenwiesen (Bavaria). The company name also goes back to Robert Czerweny von Arland, which was also a call to the workforce: "All hands to work!". The company Robert Schuster GmbH in Olbernhau/Saxony also belonged to the family at the time. Robert Czerweny von Arland thus secured the monopoly right for the Engelhart line for the production and sale of matches in the Allemann.

The ALLEMANN was able to produce in Grafenwiesen under the identification numbers 305 and 295 (household goods and world timber). 320 million boxes filled with matches were produced annually. In addition, the entrepreneurs founded a branch factory in which chip baskets, crates and crates for fish, vegetables and fruit were manufactured. After the end of the match monopoly in 1983, the Engelhart family began to manufacture wooden doors and gates for the agricultural, horse husbandry and residential building sectors and created larger production areas in which they are still active today.
