Life
Through his marriage to a daughter of the Seußen chief forester von Reitz, who had previously received substantial inheritances, Aecker became a wealthy landowner. On 10 September 1816, he and Carolus Magnus Hutschenreuther jointly applied for permission to establish a porcelain factory in Hohenberg. After delays, the concession was granted in 1822, and Aecker became a co-founder of the C. M. Hutschenreuther factory in Hohenberg an der Eger.[1][2]
This is regarded as the beginning of the porcelain industry in the Fichtel Mountains, which later became internationally known.[1]
In 1829, Aecker operated a sawmill in Elisenfels.[3] In 1838, despite strong opposition from Hutschenreuther, he founded his own Aeckerische Porcellain- und Steingutfabrik in Schirnding. No data are known about the later fate of the business, including whether it continued, was taken over, or was closed.[1]
Many local chronicles name Lorenz Reichel as the founder of the porcelain industry in Schirnding. Reichel, however, did not begin producing whiteware there until 1904.[4][5]
