A bit of Waechtersbach History
- In the year 1829, white clay was found in Schlierbach Forest, near Frankfurt am Main, belonging to the Ysenburg-Waechtersbach preserve.
- In the spring of 1832, overseer Johann Scharff, born 1781 in Echternach/Luxemburg, examined the clay and found it excellent for the manufacture of Earthenware. Since the other material needed for the production of earthenware such as gravel, sand and calcareous tuff were also available in the immediate vicinity, they (5 gentlemen from Waechtersbach and 2 gentlemen from Schlierbach) got together to try and bring these resources together.
- On June 8, 1832 they established an Earthenware Factory in Schlierbach to be known as "Waechtersbacher Earthenware".
- In addition to the factory in Schlierbach, there is a castle that has been the home of the royal Ysenburg and Budingen Family for more than 700 years.
- For the community of Brachttal and the surrounding villages, the Waechtersbach Keramik factory is the most significant employer.
