//-->Erich Schott (1891 – 1989)Pioneer of the »Economic Wonder«The son of company founder Otto Schott actually wantedto pursue an academic career after his studies in physicsand chemistry. But when his older brother Rolf was killedin the war, he chose to follow in the footsteps of his father.In 1917, Erich Schott began working as a scientific spe-cialist at the Jena glassworks. In 1927, he succeeded hisfather in managing the business, and, in the period thatfollowed, developed the market position of the Jena-basedglassworks until it became one of the world’s leading spe-cialized glass manufacturers. This effort involved founding new business fields, such as heat-resistant household glasses of the »Jenaer Glas« brand. He was one of the first industrialleaders to seek collaboration with artists. For example, he hired Bauhaus artist WilhelmWagenfeld (1900 – 1990) as a designer of »Jenaer Glas«. After the end of the World War II,acting on orders from the American military government, Erich Schott led “The Odyssey of 41Glassmakers« from Jena to West Germany. In Mainz, he directed the construction of a new,modern glass plant starting in 1951/52, guiding the company back to world class stature.
