Hanau Honors Industrial Pioneer Heinrich Brünning
Hanau is commemorating Heinrich Brünning, a prominent figure in its economic and city history, by designating his grave as an honorary one. Brünning, a strict yet caring employer, founded a successful lithographic institute that brought international recognition to the city.
Brünning established the 'Lithographic Art Institute Heinrich & August Brünning' in 1892 with his brother. At its height, the company employed over 700 people, producing vibrant cigar box labels, postcards, and posters. Their work earned an honorary diploma at the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago.
As an entrepreneur during the Gründerzeit, Brünning significantly influenced Hanau's industrial development. He served as a commercial councilor and made the city known worldwide. The city is now preserving his legacy by maintaining his elaborately designed grave, a protected monument in the form of an impressive aedicula.
The city of Hanau is honoring Heinrich Brünning's contributions by elevating his grave to an honorary status. This move not only recognizes his personal achievements but also celebrates Hanau's rich industrial history.
