Featuring machine cancel D.3 Francotyp Model 'C' (77 - 79mm, vertical rectangle with swastika, multi value meter, double circle, angular font). Ref: 22.04.1937 - 17/39 'DARAG' (Da vid R ichter A.-G.) Around 1860 Chemnitz achieved worldwide fame as a center of the textile industry and mechanical engineering. The tradition of textile machine building in Chemnitz dates back to 1789 with the production of carding and spinning machines by the Bernhard brothers. In 1887 Abraham David Richter founded a sock factory, in 1907 it was transformed into David Richter AG. DARAG was now one of the five most important industrial companies in Chemnitz. Interestingly, the company was active in the production of textile machinery as well as in textile production itself: the factory at Annaberger and Sedanstrasse in Chemnitz owned a machine factory where the machines for socks, heels, lace and tulle 'Cotton' were produced . On the other hand, cotton and silk nozzles were produced in a tulle factory. In 1939 the production of machine tools, which had already been carried out, was resumed. From 1942 DARAG mainly supplied turret lathes and weapons, in 1945 the company was destroyed by air raids and dismantling, in 1946 it was one of the first companies in Chemnitz to resume production. In 1954 transfer into public ownership at the request of the workforce (VEB Tüllmaschinenbau Karl-Marx-Stadt, from 1963 VEB Malimo sewing machine construction, from 1985 VEB Textimaforschung in the Kombinat Textima Karl-Marx-Stadt). Reprivatized in 1991 as Textimaforschung Malimo Chemnitz + Malimo Maschinenbau GmbH. Taken over by Karl Mayer in 1992 and merged with KÄNDER Textilmaschinenbau to form KARL MAYER MALIMO Textilmaschinenfabrik GmbH. The Chemnitz company at Mauersberger Str. 2 is today one of the most modern companies in the sector.

7th August 1937 7th August 1937 Princess Letter 24 9th August 1937 Munich to Pension Ensoleillee, St. Jean-Cap-Ferrat, Alps Maritimes, France Dear Madeleine! How astonished I was to get your letter this morning. Yesterday I told my sisters, “I wonder why I don’t get any news of the “Pinkies”. And now to think that you are in France at the Riviera. I am glad you like it. Deidi is going to be married on the 19th. Yesterday I was looking all over Nymphenburg Castle. There are most beautiful rooms. And I do hope the wedding will be nice there. The only mistake is we cannot dance. As it is a reunion de famille, we may not ask any other young men to dance. And we have only got about five cousins and 20 cousins. And heaps of Aunts too. Deidi is going to live at Mandelieu in a villa, Mas St. Louis. She is to spend her honeymoon in Italy. We are busy preparing, especially Mami is worrying about everything. Deidi gets the old wedding gown of Mami, most marvellous lace and a 3m long train. Rasso and the two small cousins are train-bearers. I am sorry you can’t see Deidi anymore. But it will better if you come here after the wedding as we shall have more time to meet you. You should go sight-seeing Nymphenburg, the old Pinokothek too, with most precious and beautiful pictures and heaps of other things in Munich. Baby and I are going to spend a week at Moos with our cousin Therese Preysing. Which way shall you come? Over Lousanne, Lindau? And when? I am eagerly looking forward to see you again after a year. Please write to me when and how long you are staying at Munich. I just came back from sailing. I was nearly fried, but I sprung into the water and took a good swim. The weather is very fine, sunny and warm. Deidi is driving out with her fiancée every day in his beautiful car. It is quite new, a grey Peugeot with only two places. Ludwig is sailing on the Bodensee at a regatta. I hope he wins, he is quite mad with sailing. Auf Wiedersehn, very soon, I hope, heaps of love.
