Ernst Ulrich
Klötzli
Ernst Alfred Klotzli was able to serve his apprenticeship in his father’s workshop with concurrent enrollment at a business school, a novelty at the time. His years of travel led him to France, where he deepened his knowledge of his craftsmanship.
Store Front
The house at Mühlegasse 6 in Burgdorf, Switzerland houses the store, workshop and home of the entire Klötzli family for 4 generations.
In 1942 he took over the family business. He modernised the workshop by installing electricity. Previously the workshop had been powered via transmission from the neighbouring mill. In 1946 he bought a house in the upper town of Burgdorf and moved the shop to its current address. The workshop stayed at its original location.
