In 1900 Ludwig Lichtinger was based at Weinstraße 9, but by circa 1905, the business was based in the prestigeous Theatinerstraße 44, near the Marienplatz. Between 1897/98 and 1908, Ludwig Lichtinger sold the business to a member of the Iblher family. The mark, (right 2nd down), reads to the author as P. Iblher, and might be a anticedent of Franz Iblher. Franz Iblher was certainly the proprietor by the 15 October 1908 and he was still the proprietor in 1927, located in Klenzestraße 12.
