In 1907, Crown Prince Rupprecht of Bavaria awarded the business the title ‘Court Supplier to His Royal Highness’.When Moses died, his sons Markus, Heinrich and Alexander took over the company and in 1930, Heinrich designed the 8361-piece council cutlery for the city of Munich, which was used until 1980.When the Nazis seized power, the company suffered from reprisals. In 1938, the company was ‘Aryanized’ and the family were forced to sell the business. The Wetzlars left empty-handed due to the Reich flight tax and emigrated to England in 1939.The last of the family, Heinrich Wetzlar, returned to Munich in 1956 but found he could no longer work as a silversmith. With his suicide in 1974, the family died out.Wetzlar silverware can be seen in the Jewish Museum in Munich and in the Munich City Museum, and a special exhibition dedicated to the life and work of this important family of silversmiths was opened in 2014.
