On May 3rd 1776 Peter Stobbe purchased the Gronausche distillery. Hailing from Holland he brought his own special recipe for a juniper liquor and he named it Stobbe Machandel and the business thrived.
On the 27th of August King Friedrich Wilhelm IV was passing Tiegenghof on a journey to West Prussia. Hermann Stobbe was granted the great honour of providing His Majesty with refreshment. The glass which was used was held in great honour in the Stobbe family.
Sales and demand for the Machandel flourished each year and in 1862 Hermann Stobbe moved the distillation to a massive factory on the west side of the Tiege. In 1863 the first steam boiler was set up for distillation.

On May 1st 1892 Heinrich Stobbe retired and his eldest son Henry took over the company. At this time the area of Gdansk was becoming a major economic centre of West Prussia. Young Henry was regarded by the common man and accepted by them but gradually he became accepted by the upper classes and in time everyone was enjoying his drink. The Macheike as Machandel drink was often called had become so popular at this time that is was regarded as the “Gdansk national drink”
