Nachtmann Lead Crystal Works was a fine glass maker, founded in 1834 by Michael Nachtmann in Unterhütte, Oberpfalz. In 1907 the company was taken over by Zacharias Frank who moved the headquarters to Neustadt an der Waldnaab.  Mr Frank purchased the Kristall Glasfabrik Riedhutte which was founded in 1452. At its newly acquired historical site, Nachtmann began producing its first highly polished lead crystal stemware line.  During WWII the factory suffered damage, so in 1945 when the war ended, Nachtmann rebuilt the partially destroyed production facilities and began with the production of lead crystal in Neustadt and Riedlhütte. In 1983 a third, very modern lead crystal plant was founded in Weiden in der Oberpfalz, a city in Bavaria.  In 2004 the Nachtmann company was taken over by its rival, the Austria-based Riedel Crystal which now carries its name and brand. As of 2011 the Nachtmann website is active and continues selling fine glass/crystal under the Riedel umbrella.
