    "​Piano maker and founder of a St Petersburg firm in 1818. His son Karl Michael Schröder (b St Petersburg, 1828–d Frankfurt am Main, 5 May, 1889) directed the firm after his father's death. Karl had worked at Érard and Herz in Paris, and his pianos showed the results of what he had learned from them. Schröder pianos were awarded prizes in several exhibitions, and Karl himself was decorated by the Emperors of Russia and Austria and the King of Belgium (Dolge) as well as awarded the French Legion of Honour. His son Carl Nicolai and grandsons John and Oskar continued the firm, apparently, until its ‘nationalization’ in 1918. (Dolge/PIANOS, 264 f.; 457; Sergei A. Ryiaarev in EKI i. 328) "
