For this series, T asks friends and contributors to share their favorite shops from around the world that sell just a single kind of product.
Late in the winter one year, I visited the little town of Naumburg, in the former East Germany, to see, in St. Peter and Paul's Cathedral, the 800-year-old statue of Uta of Naumburg, the great icon of Teutonic female beauty. Just a few steps away, on a street that has not changed much since the Middle Ages, I found by chance a small shop called Bürstenmanufaktur Steinbrück that makes all kinds of brushes, from humble ones for shining shoes to fanciful ones that resemble the headgear of ancient Roman soliders. There I met the proprietor, Ursula Römer, whose grandfather Karl Steinbrück opened the little workshop in 1873. She exudes the nobility and practicality of artisans who come from a line that goes back for generations. She spoke with great pride about her family, their craft and the fact that the business made it through Germany's tumultuous 20th century. The Bürstenmanufaktur survived the lean years of Communism, she told me, by inventing "a specialized range of brushes used in the restoration of the Semper Opera in Dresden." Today, she still manufactures brushes, lovingly and by hand, in the same cozy, cluttered workshop that her family has occupied for 140 years.
