Comments

Established in 1895 by the Brücher family of Schiedgen. Taken over in 1903 by Franz Brücher, it then passed into the hands of Georges Brücher. Georges Brücher, married to Anne Schuller, ran the business as a couple until his sudden death from heart failure in 1948. Anne Schuller subsequently remarried Ernest Schmit, with whom she continued to run the café until her own death in July 1975.

In 1969, to mark the opening of a new bowling alley, the couple issued this token, minted in batches of 1,000.

This is an automatic translation. The original text is:

Établissement fondé en 1895 par la famille Brücher de Schiedgen. Repris en 1903 par Franz Brücher, il passe ensuite entre les mains de Georges Brücher. Ce dernier, marié à Anne Schuller, exploite l’établissement en couple jusqu’à son décès soudain d’un arrêt cardiaque en 1948. Anne Schuller se remarie par la suite avec Ernest Schmit, avec qui elle poursuit l’exploitation du café jusqu’à son propre décès en juillet 1975.

 

En 1969, à l’occasion de l’ouverture d’un nouveau jeu de quilles, le couple émet ce jeton frappé à hauteur de 1000 exemplaires.
