J & A Bosch
Albert Bosch and his Shop in Strasbourg
Joseph and Albert Bosch manufactured mechanical instruments in their shop in Strasbourg in Alsace starting in 1888. Alsace was then part of Germany following the Franco-Prussian War. They manufactured meteorological instruments but are perhaps better known today for the seismographs they manufactured. After Word War I Alsace was returned to France and the Boschs were forced to leave. The company they founded continued to operate in Strasbourg under a new owner, Emil Schuhl. Joseph Bosch continued to make mechanical instruments in Hechingen, Germany in the 1920s. He died in 1929.
