history

Wrapping paper for chewing tobacco with the legally protected trademark "Tobacco with the Spider "; around 1910

The tobacco, cigar and cigarette factory founded in the royal seat of Hanover in 1820 at the time of the Kingdom of Hanover recorded the Hanover address book for the year 1821 initially as Bruns and Meyer, tobacco manufacturers at the address Marktstrasse 488 . Of these manufacturers, August Ludwig Bruns gave the company its name, later also known as AL Bruns .

In the early days of the German Empire , AL Bruns & Sons registered their tobacco packaging under number 12 for trademark protection at the now ( royal Prussian ) district court of Hanover on May 20, 1875 .

In 1890 the company AL Bruns & Söhne moved its location to the then still independent village of Wülfel, where the company moved into various new buildings.

The company's trademark , "Tobacco with the Spider", was emblazoned on the street front on Hildesheimer Straße and showed a spider in its self-made web.

Temporary partner in the tobacco factory was Albert Winkelhoff, father of the later junior boss and authorized signatory Werner Winkelhoff (born August 9, 1895 in Hanover), who married the actress and dancer Jutta Ilse Zambona (born August 28, 1901 in Hildesheim) in 1920 . The marriage only lasted until the divorce in 1924; Zambona then married the writer Erich Maria Remarque, who worked for the rubber goods manufacturer Continental AG in Hanover as an editor for the magazine Echo Continental .

On December 16, 1976, the last as e. K. in the commercial register at the Hanover District Court under the number HRA 15275 deleted. Soon after operations ceased, the factory buildings were demolished. As a result, a free religious denomination set up on the former company premises; the Mormons built a meetinghouse for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints here .
