After losing three weaving mills in Oberlausitz and spending three years as a prisoner of war, Alfred Apelt and his wife Gerda embark on a new beginning in 1951. With a few handlooms and a railway wagon full of yarn, they move to Oberkirch. In addition to producing headscarves, bedspreads and cushions, there is soon a table linen collection called Barbara.
