Friedrich Ludwig Metzger Friedrich Ludwig Metzger had worked briefly for the typefoundry of Karl Tauchnitz in Leipzig. From 1848 until 1862, he was the leader of a church mission in Agra, India. In 1863, he set up a typefoundry in Leipzig and bought the typefoundry of Tauchnitz in 1865. In 1868, Robert Wittig was associated with Metzger, and the company became known as Metzger & Wittig. But that same year, all the matrices and type material was taken over by W. Drugulin, to be joined with the Niersschen Schriftgiesserei (est. 1829).
