Regarded as one of the greatest German makers of the 19th century, fifth generation bow maker Franz Albert Nürnberger (1854-1931) worked in Markneukirchen, where he built bows based on those of the acclaimed French maker, François Xavier Tourte. Franz Albert's model was further refined by his son, Carl Albert (1885-1971), who built and exported bows bearing the stamp "Albert Nürnberger" for the United States market.
