ResumoBuilding an Officiai Company History: François-Paul Utzschneider, the "August Ancestor" This text focuses on how the consolidated narrative recounting the history of Sarraguemines, an earthenware; manufacture, was put together, bringing to the fore the founding father François- Paul Utzschneider. The latter was in fact given this title posthumously in an official history of the factory, which adopted the long view in telling the story and presented an idealised model of company paternalism in the second half of the 19th century,' reflecting : the constraints weighing upon company managers at the time. Thus, the character of F.-P. Utzschneider is granted a special existence in a biographical construction geared to achieving mastery over time: a paternalistic appropriation of history.
