Anton Dürbeck GmbH, Foundation 1896

The history of “Anton Dürbeck GmbH” began in Falkenau an der Eger. That is where Martin Dürbeck founded “Martin Dürbeck Fruchthandel”. The firm prospered from the start so well that it withstood the many political upheavals in the years that followed. First, it survived the collapse of the Austrian-Hungarian monarchy, to which the Egerland as a province of Bohemia belonged.

In 1919, when the Treaty of Versailles gave life to the Czechoslovakian Republic, Martin Dürbeck’s sons Anton and Karl continued their father’s work in this new state. Under them, the company survived the economic crises of the 20’s and 30’s, and the rapid demise of their young country in 1938. At this time “Martin Dürbeck Fruchthandel” was a highly respected import/ wholesale trading house
