The Lange Company formerly C.F. Uhlig – The Chemnitz Concertina conquers Chicago
After the death of C. F. Uhlig in 1884, his son-in-law, Friedrich Anton Lange, continued to run the company. His son, Friedrich Emil Lange, took over the family business in 1892, which then traded under the address “Brückenstraße 24”.
In 1893, the Lange Company received much honour at the Chicago World’s Fair, where its instruments were recognised for their excellent sound quality and outstanding workmanship.
In 1895, Lange opened a new factory at “Rosenplatz 2”, which was destroyed in the bombing raid of 1945 (today’s address of the former location: “Rosenplatz 7”).
The instruments from Uhlig and Lange were honoured with a quality seal in Munich, Chemnitz, Dresden and Chicago.
