It's finally time to tell the time on family history of my husband, Norbert, and their operation. It all started about 100 years ago. This photo was shot 1914th Who are the people who have positioned themselves so cute in front of the house we do not know anymore. There are certainly the great-grandparents, Norbert's and their servants. His great-grandfather was called to write name Gruber, a very familiar last name. This man built the house at about 1906th When you see the very deep and extensive cellar, or by any large stones that each tag (and those were the many) come to light, the house had been built, one wonders every time, as before, people were able establish such houses. Hans Gruber ran a grocery-story, how to read the Scriptures, which is above the store. Up on the balcony of a sign is attached: advertisement of a shoemaker, who had hired themselves. South Tyrol was still under the K & K monarchy, as read on the contracts of sale of the property, which still exist, is.
The only daughter of Hans Gruber's raised as an orphan. Her mother died very early. She married the grandfather of Norbert, Hans fields, which I also knew well. This tool was a blacksmith.
It is told in the family a nice story. Hans went to Lana a blacksmith in teaching. The only way to sell their tools, it was to offer on the markets surrounding their product. We grabbed two large backpacks, with the tool being and went on foot to Passeiertal determined 20 km. After the market, as it was back home, was the master at first that he had forgotten his false teeth in the valley. So the apprentice had to go back to base at the bit to get. Certainly not unwillingly, because the work in the "Schmittner" very hard and was dirty.
Hans Felder from the grocery store then made a hardware store, where there have been all sorts of practical things for the household.
His son, also named Hans Felder went with his father in teaching. This photo in the "Schmittner" was made in a memorable year: 1939. Hans was 14 years old.
This photo taken by my father very much. His smile is left to him to old age and reflects his character.
Lange visited the family of all major livestock markets and traders in South Tyrol, first with the horse carriage, later by car. Also, Norbert has long led the market tradition. Then, the forging of industrialization was the victim. Hand-forged tools could keep up with the price of no longer manufactured.
Norbert, as the youngest of five children, has not become blacksmith, but a businessman, as his ancestors. He has taken a well-established business from his parents. For the hardware department, his father was responsible, the soul of the household sector was his mother, who also introduced porcelain.
have followed in the funeral of Grandpa asked our children why so many people were at the funeral. As we have told them that a lot of South Tyrol, Trento well, the stuff-smith from Lana, with its high-quality Tools, have known and appreciated.
This photo was taken in 1979 before the major renovation of the business. The bus stop it was back then. Quite early it was the tram stop.
And now I'm also a bit into the game. I have learned to know Norbert with 14 years and I am head over heels for him. But then, it has yet to be. We are only 7 years later, a couple are now married and become more happy.
Hans has been no more, of whom there were already enough.
This is what our house after 104 years. It has changed from the outside not much. The inside of this much.
lead today we share a specialized household goods business with china department, and have the tradition of selling quality. I've been using my passion for cooking's introduced a few years cooking classes on various topics.
One has to be said at this point even clear and distinct. All this would not be possible if we do not have our loyal customers. We have shown that people are that it will need us and that's nice. Because we are often asked by tourists, whether such a business even reindeer?
I close with a big "God bless you" to our customers and to all participants of the cooking classes and we hope that you will need us for long.
