Die gute Schneiderkanne!
… so lobt man noch heute die verzinkten Gießkannen der Firma G. Schneider aus Feuerbach. Im Jahr 1876 gründete Gottlob Schneider eine Flaschnerei in Feuerbach. Sein Unternehmen entwickelte sich rasch zu einer Fabrik für verzinkte Blechwaren und Heizungsbau.

Bekannt wurde Schneider vor allem durch seine Gießkannen, die in keinem Garten und auf keinem Friedhof fehlen durften. Das Besondere der Schneiderkannen war ihr praktischer durchgängiger Griff, ihre sorgsame technische Entwicklung und ihre außerordentliche Stabilität. Die Kannen wurden aus Stahlblech gefertigt und anschließend feuerverzinkt. Gottlob Schneider war der erste Industrielle, der das in Frankreich entwickelte Verfahren des Feuerverzinkens in Deutschland anwandte.

Die Schneiderkanne wurde gestiftet von Alexander Schneider.

Gottlob Schneider was the first industrialist to use the hot-dip galvanizing process developed in France in Germany.

The Schneider watering can was donated by Alexander Schneider.
