*Koprivnica
is
a town in Croatia, formerly known as Kaproncza
(Hungarian) and Kopreinitz (German)
My SCHREINER descendancy chart lists an Armin SCHREINER married to Roza SCHREINER, daughter of Moritz SCHREINER and Babette/Betti nee POLLAK. Of course, the question is whether they are related and this is an instance of cousins marrying. On the same tree is Roza's brother Edo married to Berta WEISS.
According to a Page of Testimony submitted in 1974 for Edo MIKLOS by a man in Los Angeles, Edo's original name was SCHREINER. The maiden name of his wife, Berta WEISS, is also given as SCHREINER. The submitter also indicated that Berta and Edo were 2nd cousins. So not only do we have an instance of cousins marrying, we also have an instance of a brother and sister marrying a brother and sister! Although if Julius was a son of Aron SCHREINER, which seems likely, then Edo, Bertha, Armin and Roza would be first cousins, not second cousins. Unfortunately, none of the records in Koprivnica indicate Julius' date of birth or his parents' names. So for the time being, the exact relationship remains unknown. Update: March 2013. Thanks to the help of a researcher in Vienna who found the 1873 marriage record of Julius and Hani LOFFLER, it has now been confirmed that Julius SCHREINER is indeed the son of Aron SCHREINER and Leonora HIRSCH. Edo and Berta, Armin and Roza were all first cousins.

2) Armin SCHREINER (1874-1941) married Roza SCHREINER in 1900 in Körmend. They lived in Agram and Zagreb, Yugoslavia.

He was a member of the Zagreb Lodge No. 1090 of the Independent Order of B'nai B'rith. The owner of several factories including the Zagorka Clay and Fireclay Works in Bedekovcina, he was also the vice-president of the City Savings Bank and a member of the Zagreb Fair and Manufacturers' Alliance.

Zagorka Clay and Fireclay Works Factory: The Use of Ceramic Tiles in Architecture
All earthenware products, modeled, fired
or glazed that have a functional and decorative
use in architecture are known as architectural
ceramics.
This could include tiled stoves, ceramic facade decorations, wall panels, and floor tiles. Besides being attractive, they also had a hygienic purpose in that they could be cleaned with a wet cloth and not raise dust.
The Zagorka Clay and Fireworks Clay factory in Bedekovcina, Croatia, was one of two manufacturers dominating the market of Art Nouveau architectural ceramics. Founded in 1889, Armin SCHREINER was initially manager, then took over the company in 1906, and handed over management to his son Ferdo in 1926. Armin played a major role in popularizing Croatian architectural ceramics, and architects in the first and second decades of the 20th century used Zagorka tiles in many major construction projects in Croatia, Bosnia and Hercegovina. Zagorka tiles were used in public baths, banks, bakeries, apartment buildings, post offices, industrial plants, restaurants, and most notably in the Zagreb Theological Seminary and National and University Library, also in Zagreb. Below are some examples of products manufactured by the Zagorka factory.
