Comment
Menzel: BBBIn 1873, two years after the invention of margarine, Heinrich Lang founded Nuremberg's first margarine factory. After two of Lang's former employees had also set up their own margarine production business under the name "Salb & Wohl" in 1883, the two companies merged in 1911 to form the Vereinigte-Maragarine-Werke.
Interesting fact
The 10 Pfennigs - Nürnberg (Vereinigte Margarine Werke) ND coin was minted during a time when the city of Nuremberg was experiencing significant economic growth, particularly in the industrial sector. The coin's design, which features the city's coat of arms and the margarine factory, serves as a symbol of the city's prosperity and innovation during that time.
