Robert Brendel (c. 1821 — 1898) and his son Reinhold Brendel (c. 1861 — 1927) were botanical modelmakers in first Wrocław then Grunewald, Berlin.
[1] In 1866, they started the Brendel Company, initially only creating models for medicinal plants.
They received help from Carl Leopold Lohmeyer [Fr] to improve accuracy.
Ferdinand Cohn suggested they also model for plants used to agriculture.
