Aktiengesellschaft Georg Egestorff's salt works and chemical factories
The Egestorff Salzwerke , formally Aktien-Gesellschaft Georg Egestorffs Salzwerke und Chemische Fabriken or Actien-Gesellschaft Georg Egestorff's Salzwerke , in Linden in front of Hanover, was a stock corporation (AG) with a focus on salt works and vacuum salt production . The company was one of the large saltworks operators in Germany, but due to its predominantly chemical production, it was more likely to belong to the chemical industry .
History and description
The company was founded in December 1871 and constituted on December 29, 1872. Purpose of the corporation was the operation of several previously by industrialist Georg Egestorff maintained ventures: The in Badenstedt operated Saline Egestorffshall , the chemical plant and paint factory in Linden and previously by the company Gebr Niemeyer & Co., acquired Saline Neuhall at Davenstedt .
The share capital - excluding a mortgage of 500,000 thalers - was 1,500,000 thalers. However, only a small amount of the share capital was issued, as the majority was already in permanent possession. The nine people elected to the board of directors initially included, for example, the manufacturer and nephew Egestorff Fritz Hurtzig , who, according to a note a few days later, was also on the board as Egestorff's son-in-law, the commercial councilor Friedrich Buresch ; both belonged to the group of heirs of Egestorff.
In 1883 the chemist Otto Jordan joined the Egestorff salt works and received power of attorney , at the same time as director of the Egestorff ultramarine factory .
In 1899, the two salt pans operated by the AG received electrical lighting.
Around 1900 the AG was headed by general director Carl Kraushaar , while the supervisory board chairman Chamberlain Count Karl Alten-Linsingen sat on the supervisory board, represented by the Hanoverian banker Eduard Spiegelberg, as well as the engineer Friedrich Buresch from Linden, the secret commercial councilor H. Pringsheim, who lived in Berlin Counselor Leopold Abel and L. Huesmann from Osnabrück, who worked in Hanover .
In 1937, the operating results of AG Georg Egestorffs Salzwerke und Chemische Fabriken had improved compared to the same period of the previous year, but investments were still to be made in the overhaul of the plants for the production of sulfuric acid .
