In 1882 the Ditmar-Urbach factory was founded by the Urbach brothers and named, Bros Urbach. In 1912 it was then taken over by Imperially and Royally Privileged Wilhemsberg-Earthenware Factory in Wilhelmsberg, Austria, owned by Richard Lichtenstern, who also owned Rudolf Ditmar Heirs factory. At some point, the Urbach and Ditmar factories were combined to create one entity. In 1913 the company was bought by Triptis AG in Triptis. In 1919 Triptis AG was dissolved and the former owner Richard Lichtenstern bought back the company, Lictenstern maintained ownership, but split the factories to create two companies, Ditmar-Urbach AG and Wilhemlmsberger Earthenware Factory Richard Lichtenstein & Co. In 1938 it was confiscated by the Nazis and became Ostmark-Ceramics AG and in 1945 the factory was nationalized,
