From 1872 into the 1940s, Fröhlich Brunnschweiler & Cie. in Ennenda produced striped and plaid fabrics for export, mostly in cotton. The company made airy woven Pestemal bath towels with stripes in different widths and color combinations for the Turkish market, while the woven red-and-white Strawberry Ground fabric, modeled on Indian madras handkerchiefs, proved especially popular in Africa, for instance in Nigeria.
