history
The company Aug. Klönne was founded on July 1st, 1879 by the engineer August Klönne . The company began with the construction of industrial furnaces , e.g. B. for gas works ( coking plants ), but soon expanded the production spectrum considerably. From 1890 Klönne opened up further production areas in bridge and iron building. As a result of a cooperation with the engineer friend Georg Barkhausen , above-ground gas tanks with ring basins and later also water tanks were built . Klönne became the sole manufacturer of the Barkhausen containers and in 1896 developed an improved, spherical variant, of which from 1906 as the Klönne type several hundred copies were prefabricated in Dortmund within a period of around thirty years and installed worldwide. The company Aug. Klönne built z. B. in the Netherlands a double-track, 264-meter-long railway swing bridge , one of the largest in Europe.
After the founder's death in 1908, the two sons, the twins Max Klönne (1878–1945) and Moritz Klönne (1878–1962) continued the company. They greatly expanded the company's field of activity. With the construction of mining and ironworks, gas tanks , bridges , crane systems , halls, gas works, hoisting machines and hydraulic steel structures such as B. ship lifts , floating docks or sea locks , the company was able to expand strongly.
In 1950 the company ran a fireclay factory in Volmarstein . In 1958 the Aug. Klönne company employed around 1700 workers. In 1966 the company was taken over by Thyssen-Röhrenwerke AG , and in the 1990s the Dortmund location with the factories on Körnebachstrasse (Plant 1) and Hannöverschen Strasse (Plant 2) was given up.
