Württembergische MetallwarnfabrikMr. - a German factory operating from 1880 to the present day. Founded by Daniel Straub, at the beginning of the 20th century it became the largest metalworking tycoon. It signed its works with a running ostrich inscribed in a rhombus or a frame closed by a semicircle. This animal was the heraldic symbol of the Straub family.
Individual, high-class works brought the company a number of awards, including the Grand Prix at exhibitions in Paris in 1900 and Turin in 1902. It also collaborated with artists of the Darmstadt School, such as Peter Behrens and Richard Riemerschmidt. It also had a branch in Warsaw, at 86/74 Leszno Street, which it entrusted to Roman Plewkiewicz.
