Hermann Maerklein1826 - 1921

Hermann A. W. Maerklein was born on 16 December 1826 in Stettin, Pomerania, a Prussian seaport on the Oder River near the Baltic Sea (now Szczecin, Poland). He was apprenticed to an upholsterer, and probably completed his training in 1847, just as the Revolution of 1848 began. Maerklein fled to America, and was married in New York City in 1851. He settled in Hartford, Connecticut, where he worked as an upholsterer and decorator from 1853 until 1911. Maerklein operated shops for cabinetry, upholstery, and drapery, all in the same building. He died 1 June 1921.
