Mathias Flurl

Commissioner 1793 - 1807 (from 1788, co-supervision of the manufactory)

Following the death of Sigmund Count of Haimhausen in 1793, Porzellan Manufaktur Nymphenburg was spun off from the "Mint and Mining Commission" and the electoral cabinet assumed direct responsibility in 1799. Its vice president, Count Joseph August von Törring, thus became its director. Mathias Flurl was employed to provide his support as Factory Commissioner. Following Flurl's first report on the manufactory's condition, von Törring was in subsequent years able to push through reforms and improvements that affected both the internal operations and commercial organisation as well as the technical running of production. The effects of these measures were still being felt right into the first half of the 19th century. In 1797, Johann Peter Melchior assumed the position of model master previously occupied by Dominikus Auliczek. The manufactory's directorship was dissolved two years later and was replaced with a "General State Directorship" (until 1807), which was presided over by Count von Toerring. This step resulted in the transfer of the overall management of Nymphenburg to the former Factory Commissioner, Flurl. In 1800, Porzellan Manufaktur Nymphenburg was merged with that of Frankenthal in the Electoral Palatinate.
