habigman Posted January 15, 2018 Report Share Posted January 15, 2018 Hut Braun Teisendorf, Germany, October 14, 2017 Hut Braun is located in the Teisendorf, Germany which is just west of Salzburg, Austria. I would like to thank ErWeSa (Wolfgang) who posts on the FL occasionally for setting up this fantastic visit. Hut Braun is a primary producer of Trachten Hats but also makes Soft and Stiff Felt Dress Hats. Lothar Braun the owner is a very personable fellow with much knowledge of European Hat Industry. Lothar has obtained machinery from famous former factories such as G. Panizza & C. Ghiffa, Italy. His small scale factory is filled with all kinds of Hat Machinery. I would like thank Lothar and his wife Gisela Braun for the fantastic tour of their Hat Factory and Shop. Here is a link to a (translated) newspaper article that will give you more insight into their operation. http://germanaustrianhats.invisionzone.com/index.php?/topic/213-hut-braun/#entry1842 I would highly recommend paying Hut Braun a visit if you are in the Salzburg, Austria area. There website is down at the moment but I will provide the link for the future and I have also included their Facebook page. http://www.hutbraun.de/ https://www.facebook.com/hutmachereibraun/ (Click On Photos to Expand) Exterior of Shop and Factory.
