Johann Maresch (1821-1914) joined Adolf Bähr as commercial director in
1845, who in 1841 took up the first production of household articles
made from siderolith in Aussig.
After Bähr's death in 1849 he
married his daughter Marie Luise. In 1851 he became a shareholder of the
new company ‘Bähr & Maresch’ with his mother-in-law Wilhelmine
Bähr.
Under his leadership, production was extended to art
terracottas and majolicas. In 1860 Maresch took over the business under
his own name ‘Johann Maresch, Aussig / Bohemia’, whose management he
held until 1890.
In 1873 his son Ferdinand joined the company
and pushed the success of the company decisively forward. The products
of Maresch were popular all over Europe and overseas.
