Three associates bought in 1853 a factory, which was renamed Dressel, Kister & Cie. The buyers were Johann Friedrich Andreas Kister, a Mr. Dressel and another businessman. The Passau company exported their porcelain all over the world. Even World War I did not stop their growth.
At the beggining of the 20th century they acquired ca. 350 molds from the Höchst porcelain manufactory, which had been closed in 1796. The porcelain figurines based on it were generally marked with the Höchst wheel (sometimes in connection with the letter "D" or a bishop's crook).
In 1900 the factory was taken over by Rudolf Lenck and since 1903 it was managed by brothers Wilhelm & Rudolf Lenck. Between 1913 and 1922 the factory was owned by Lina Lenck. In 1922 she sold the business to the Aelteste Volkstetter and worked as a Passau branch of the Aelteste Volkstedter Porzellanfabrik.
They mostly produced high quality figurines and half dolls. A strong decline came together with the great depression in late 1920s and 1930s. The economic crisis caused a steep decline in demand for luxury goods. Another problem was deplation of the local kaolin deposit.
It went bankrupt in 1936. The factory was bought by the city and renamed Porzellanfabrik Passau. The factory was destroyed and looted at the end of the Second World War.
