From the Hacklander company website (2021): On November 6th, 1891, the export agent Joh. Wilhelm Roderich Hackländer founded his company in Hamburg. His products included wicks and glass cylinders for kerosene lamps, steel wire, tin snips and horseshoe nails. His son Ernst Georg Paul Hackländer joined the company after the First World War. New products such as lathes and diesel engines were added to the range. In addition to the Hamburg and Bremen export houses, shipyards and industrial companies were now also among the customers. The Second World War destroyed all successes - the office on Mönckebergstrasse was in ruins. Due to the division of Germany, Georg Hackländer lost many of his most important representations. There were only two agencies left that he had taken over from his father and the Schlüter company from Freising, which now also produced tractors.

Hacklander thought to be the man on the right.
