Adriaan Stoop (1931) Stoop's signature

Adriaan Stoop (born October 18, 1856 in Dordrecht , Netherlands, † September 7, 1935 in Bloemendaal , Netherlands) was a Dutch mining engineer , entrepreneur and pioneer of the oil industry in the Dutch East Indies , today's Republic of Indonesia .

His most important achievement was the founding and management of the company Dordtsche Petroleum Maatschappij in Java . In 1887, it was the first private company to look for oil there and just ten years later it became the Netherlands' largest public limited company at the time. His research report from 1888 on the petroleum industry in North America and the drilling techniques used there, the refining, transport and storage of petroleum became the standard work of the Dutch-Indian petroleum industry of that time.

At the end of the 19th century, Stoop left Java at the age of 40 and returned to the Netherlands as a successful entrepreneur and wealthy man. In his new adopted home, Bloemendaal, he acquired the de Rijp country estate , which became his new family home. Since he was not a man of idleness and monotonous calm and had a pioneering personality with a thirst for action, he devoted himself to his new home and the future prospects of his children in a philanthropic manner. But neither could he withstand new challenges and discoveries.

At the beginning of the 20th century, for example, Stoop founded the First Bavarian Petroleum Company when he discovered crude oil on Lake Tegernsee after successful drilling in Bavaria . After a short time the deposits were exhausted and instead Stoop came across a rich iodine - sulfur-containing thermal water deposit . So he built a bathhouse for medicinal baths next to the healing spring in Wiessee . Ten years later the place became a spa and from then on was allowed to call itself Bad Wiessee . It was there that he was made an honorary citizen in 1922.

Stoop was married to Willemina Bernardina van Deventer (1859-1934) and had five children. He died in the family mansion Villa de Rijp in Bloemendaal a year after his wife. His estate is now administered through the Stoop Van Deventer Foundation.

Life

ancestry

Former home of the Stoop family, today Wijnstraat 239 in Dordrecht

Stoop's father of the same name, Adriaan Stoop (1818–1888), descended from a long-established regent family, which formerly belonged to the Dutch patrician nobility and had lived in Dordrecht for generations. On August 8, 1849, he married Cornelia Déking Dura (1827-1902), who came from a wealthy Dordrecht merchant family who owned their own ships. They lived in Dordrecht at Wijnstraat 129 (Weinstrasse) in a building that had been in the family for several generations. Stoop's father initially worked as a brewer and maltster in the De Oranjeboom brewery , which he took over in 1852 after his mother's death. Stoop's father later founded the Stoop & Rens credit institute in Dordrecht together with Jan Marius Rens (1848–1909) and worked as a banker, estate manager and broker.

Childhood, youth and studies (1856–1878)

Stoop was born the fifth of eleven children and was baptized on November 30, 1856. He grew up in Dordrecht and attended the high school there. It was there that he met his future wife. Stoop was 16 years old when he regularly finished his schooling in Dordrecht and at 17 enrolled at the Polytechnic in Delft to study as a mining engineer. He graduated at the age of 22 and became engaged to Willemina Bernardina van Deventer (1859–1934) in the same year.

Civil service and marriage (1879–1885)

After completing his studies, Stoop successfully applied for civil service in 1879 and worked as a third-class engineer from January 27, 1880 for the groundwater investigation department of the Dutch-Indian Mining Ministry on Java . His task was to research the geology in the vicinity of the garrison town of Surabaya and to look for artesian water for the city's drinking water supply. At that time he was earning around 300 guilders a month as a budding engineer, which was not very much. Nevertheless, on August 25, 1880, he married his fiancée Willemina, who was still living in Dordrecht, through a long distance marriage and had her travel to his home in Java. After his stationing, he began exploring the area around the community of Kotie near Surabaya and gained his first experience drilling for water. He could not find suitable water resources, but instead he often came across oil.

A year later his first daughter Anne Marie (1881-1949) was born. From 1883 he lived in Dinoyo, an old part of Surabaya, where his second daughter Cornelia (1883-1965) was born.

His next geological investigations took him to the Probolinggo region and, with interruptions, he worked at the Merapi volcano south of Semarang from August 1884 to April 1885 . Since he did not find any suitable water resources in Probolinggo either and came across oil again during his further explorations, he recommended to the colonial minister that state research and exploitation of the oil reserves on Java be carried out, as has already happened on Sumatra . But his suggestions were not listened to.

Stoop's wife Willemina suffered from blood poisoning in late 1885. Her illness required a return trip to the Netherlands for medical treatment, as the humid climate on Java hampered her recovery. Stoop's financial resources were insufficient to finance a return trip by ship to the Netherlands. But Frederick (1854–1933), his two years older brother and wealthy stockbroker in London, generously paid for the travel expenses. In retrospect, this event would mark the turning point in both personal and business life of the Stoops.

United States and Self Employment (1886-1887)

Due to his practical experience in Java and geological knowledge, Stoop was to return to the Dutch East Indies on behalf of the ministry in 1886 and be deployed in North Sumatra . The deep drilling near the Telaga Said oil field in the government province of Langkat had stalled and he was supposed to get them moving again. But he was aware of his lack of experience in deep drilling and knew only too well the poor equipment of the Ministry. His reputation was at stake and he made the counter-proposal to break off his vacation in Europe and travel to the United States. There he wanted to acquire the necessary knowledge about deep drilling techniques, the refining, transport and storage of crude oil. The study trip was financed by the ministry on the condition that it could not last longer than 100 days. On August 2, 1886, he left for New York.

Having arrived in the United States, Stoop recognized the importance of future oil production on Java from the perspective of established large American companies early on. While still in the United States, he applied for a private oil exploration license in the Surabaya region, where he had already worked on behalf of the Mining Ministry. During his return from the States, his application was approved on October 30, 1886, and on November 24, 1886, he returned to the Netherlands. Stoop had gained a wealth of experience and on December 15, 1886 received the official order from Colonial Minister Sprenger van Eyk to record the knowledge he had acquired in writing. Again Stoop recommended further exploration and the establishment of a state oil production in Java - again in vain. Now he made the decision to become self-employed and this without taking into account his secure state employment.

At the beginning of 1887, Stoop returned to Java and explained to the ministry his plan to set up a privately owned oil company there. The governor assured him that the government would support him and put him off duty for three years so that he could carry out his risky plan. Stoop left the fundraising for the planned company to his older brother Frederick (1854–1933). While he was waiting for a decision from his brother and the hoped-for capital, in the spring of 1887 Stoop wrote his more than 260-page report on the knowledge he had acquired on his research trip across the States. His treatise appeared in the annual yearbook of mining in the Dutch East Indies in 1888 , became the standard work of the Dutch oil industry and also known as Stoop's Bible .

Dordtsche Petroleum Maatschappij (1887-1896)

Direction of Dordtschen Petroleum Maatschappij, 1896, (Stoop far right)

On July 22, 1887, Stoop founded the Dordtsche Maatschappij company with starting capital of 150,000 guilders. It was the first oil company in the Dutch East Indies to search for and produce oil. Despite his banking activities, his brother Frederick obtained the capital mainly from family members. On February 12, 1888, the first bubbling oil well was drilled in the municipality of Kotie near Surabaya. Stoop built the refinery required for the production of lamp oil in Medaeng near the oil discovery site and the first crate of lamp oil produced there was handed over to the Government Secretary for Economic Affairs, who was able to present the first lamp burning with Java oil to his invited guests.

On July 24, 1888, Stoop's father died at the age of 69.

Due to the discovery of crude oil in commercially usable quantities, Stoop was granted the crude oil production license on March 31, 1889. The first receipts for lamp oil delivered could already be booked on April 14, 1889 and the refinery began its regular operations. To enable further expansion, Dordtsche Maatschappij increased its capital to 350,000 guilders and the name of the company was adapted to the new purpose and changed to Dordtsche Petroleum Maatschappij . Between 1887 and 1889, Stoop found eight new oil wells with different production rates and by the end of 1889 the refinery in Medaeng was producing around 296,000 liters of lamp oil, which corresponded to the maximum capacity of the small refinery. Stoop mainly supplied the local lamp oil market in Java, while its larger competitors had to export their products to the world market. This enabled him to offer his oil at lower prices and to make good and secure profits with little effort.

Refinery of the Dordtschen Petroleum Maatschappij in Wonokromo, 1892

So in 1890 Stoop decided to build a larger refinery. He found a nearby location in Wonokromo, a current district of Surabaya, with a railway junction and conveniently located on the Wonokromo Canal. The distance from the refinery to the oil well was about seven kilometers and Stoop was given permission to set up a pipeline there. Due to the increased workload, Jan Stoop (1858–1931) came to Surabaya in March 1890 and supported his brother in his work. A new house in Simpang, a little north of Wonokromo, became the new home of the Stoop family. Ten more wells were drilled during 1890, but only a few returned crude oil. At the end of 1890, the Wonokromo refinery was producing 995,000 liters of lamp oil, 473,000 liters of diesel oil, 9,000 liters of gasoline and 8,600 liters of lubricating oil. In March 1891 the refinery could be connected to the pipeline and the annual production rose to about 2.9 million liters of lamp oil, 48,000 liters of gasoline, 20,000 liters of lubricating oil and a considerable amount of diesel oil.

In 1891 Stoop fell ill and had to travel back to the Netherlands for health reasons. His brother Frederick visited him on Java at his own expense and was able to persuade him to return to Europe. In May 1891 the Stoop family made their way home to the Netherlands and on December 1, 1891 Stoop's third daughter was born in the municipality of Oosterbeek , a suburb of Arnhem . During his absence from Java, Jan Stoop took over the management of Java as a deputy.

Jan acquired new oil concessions in the Tinawun district in the Rembang region and in July 1892 the first exploration wells took place at Gogor. In November 1892 Jan received permission to build a pipeline from Tjepu to the refinery in Wonokromo near Surabaya. When Stoop returned to Java at the end of 1892, the total production of the Dordtsche Petroleum Maatschappij company was about 9.2 million liters of crude oil per year.

In February 1893 Stoop carried out the first geological explorations at Panolan and Ledok in the Rembang region, for which his brother Jan had also acquired new exploration concessions. The Rembang region proved to be difficult territory, but on October 15th Stoop discovered a bubbling oil well near Panolan at a depth of about 100 meters. He found a suitable location for the necessary refinery in Tjepu on the Solo River in the Ngareng region. In 1894 Stoop began building the new refinery near Tjepu and after an initial provisional refining on October 8, 1894, the first lamp oil was delivered to the market on December 11, 1894. In 1895, Stoop took over further concessions from other companies in the Rembang region and merged the scattered oil fields by building a pipeline to Kedewan. The Tjepu refinery became the central manufacturing center for lamp oil in the Rembang region with a daily output of around 111,000 liters of lamp oil. This amount could no longer be sold on the local market and so Stoop began building a pipeline to Wonokromo near Surabaya.

On June 15, 1895, Stoop's fourth daughter Theodora (Dörrie) was born in Surabaya.

Back in the Netherlands (1896–1902)

In May 1896, Stoop returned to the Netherlands at the age of 40, left the management on Java to his brother Jan and became chairman of the board of directors of Dordtsche Petroleum Maatschappij in the Netherlands. The Tjepu-Wonokromo Pipeline on Java, about 150 km in length, was completed and began operating in 1897.

Arrived in the Netherlands, Stoop redesigned the previous family company and brought Dordtsche Petroleum Maatschappij to the Amsterdam stock exchange to enable further expansion. The 350 shares of the former company were brought into the Dordtsche Petroleum Industrie Maatschappij on March 12, 1897 . This issued normal shares to the value of ten million guilders, preference shares to the value of five million guilders and additional bonds to the value of five million guilders. The European management of the new company was established in Amsterdam on Doelenstraat . With a total share capital of fifteen million guilders, the Dordtsche Petroleum Industrie Maatschappij was at that time the most financially strong company in the Netherlands. Each share of the original company brought the holder 14,900 guilders in cash and shares worth 20,000 guilders.

The IPO was a complete success and Stoop was a very rich man. He and his family moved from Hilversum to Bloemendaal ; There he found an adequate country estate and bought de Rijp on July 1, 1897. The main house Villa de Rijp , built by architect Paul du Rieu (1859-1901), became his new family home. On February 17, 1898, Stoop's only son Adriaan was born in Bloemendaal.

When his brother Jan, who ran the business in Java in his absence, urgently needed a vacation in Europe, Stoop traveled to Java for the last time from November 1898 to July 1899 to represent his brother.

The Bloemendaal School Association was founded on Stoop's initiative in 1901. Stoop wanted to give his children an adequate school education, which was not available in Bloemendaal until then, and from 1902 took over the financing and construction of the elementary school in Bloemendaal. At the beginning of the 20th century, the place was in transition from a rural and natural village to a modern community.

Stoop's mother died on January 13, 1902 in Dordtrecht.

First Bavarian Petroleum Company (1902–1910)

Oil fields and oil wells in Wiessee

In 1902, in the Netherlands, Stoop learned of earlier oil discoveries by the Erdölwerke Tegernsee company in Wiessee am Tegernsee . Shortly before the turn of the century, oil was already being produced there using the hand pump method, but this turned out to be costly and all operations were stopped. Stoop's interest was aroused and he found in a report by the chief mining director Carl Wilhelm von Gümbel a description of the high quality of Wiesseer petroleum. After obtaining further reports, he explored the west bank of the Tegernsee and the eastern mountains on the Schliersee side in 1903 together with two drill masters and a local mountain guide .

As the exploration was promising, he acquired the drilling rights for the western part of the Tegernsee valley and on April 29, 1904 the first exploratory drilling was approved. Stoop personally assumed half of the estimated total costs of around 200,000 marks . At the beginning of September 1904 André Simon Driessen (1880–1956) came to Wiessee as an authorized representative of the Dordtschen Petroleum Industrie Maatschappij and began the necessary preparatory work for the procurement of materials and the exploratory drilling. As early as December 6, 1904, drilling tower I was built south of the Breitenbach and on January 2, 1905, drilling tower II was put into operation.

Despite his rich experience in Java, the drilling was very time-consuming, as the subsoil consisted of alternating layers of pebble-limestone and gray slate. On August 15, 1906, after almost two years, crude oil was found at hole I at a depth of 501 meters and around 248,000 liters of oil were produced over a period of four months. From 1907 to 1911, a total of around 651,000 liters of oil were produced via borehole I.

Due to this successful start, the First Bavarian Petroleum Company was founded on April 18, 1907, with a share capital of around 1.5 million marks, in which the listed Dordtsche Petroleum Industrie Maatschappij and Stoop personally participated with half each. André Simon Driessen became the operations director of the new company.

Oil rigs in Wiessee, 1911

A total of 11 oil wells were carried out of which only three were successful. In 1908, Hole IV produced about 327,000 liters and Hole VII about 1.07 million liters of oil. The oil was first transported in horse-drawn road tankers to the railway line to Gmund , where the oil was pumped into a 500,000 liter steel tank. The further removal was carried out by rail tankers. Due to the success of borehole VII, Stoop decided to build what is probably the first oil pipeline in Bavaria along the district road from Wiessee to Gmund with a total length of around 6 kilometers.

Iodine-sulfur thermal spring with drilling tower III in Wiessee, 1909

On May 27, 1909, while drilling at borehole III, Stoop encountered abundant thermal water at a depth of 676 meters. The intermittent source had an output of about 1600 liters / min and a temperature of 21 degrees Celsius. Since after deepening the borehole to 714 meters there was no oil and the methane gas that was also flowing out gave off a bad smell, the shaft was closed again on September 18, 1909. Without even ancestors Stoop had the strongest iodine - sulfur - hot spring in Germany found.

Stoop and its baths (1910-1935)

It was not until 1910 that the Wiesse doctor Erwin von Dessauer (1861–1938) recognized its therapeutic importance after a balneological examination of the spring. At his suggestion, the first Wiesse spring baths were administered in two wooden bath tubs on July 22, 1910. Bathing cabins were built and about 300 baths were administered during the first year. The number of baths rose to around 2000 in 1911 and Stoop began planning a bathhouse with 12 bathing cabins.

On June 24, 1911, the company Dordtschen Petroleum Industrie Maatschappij became a subsidiary of NV Koninklijke Nederlandse Petroleum Maatschappij through a share swap and merged into NV Bataafsche Petroleum Maatschappij , which was one of the exploration companies of today's Royal Dutch Shell . Since the financial risk for new, complex oil wells in the Bataafschen region in Bavaria seemed too high, Stoop decided to personally take over the entire shares of the First Bavarian Petroleum Company . Despite the financial risk, he wanted to run the oil company and the spa with the healing spring on his own.

Bath house with derrick III in Wiessee, 1912

Finally, on May 6, 1912, the new bathhouse designed by the architect Alois Degano (1887–1960) was put into operation, whereupon the number of baths increased to around 6,000.

By the end of 1912, the productivity of the oil wells decreased so much that further extraction was unprofitable and oil production in Bad Wiessee was stopped. Wells X and XI, which had already started, were canceled and the focus of Stoops activities finally shifted from oil extraction to spa and bathing operations. As early as 1913, the new bathhouse had become too small for the approximately 10,000 baths administered. The upper floor of the bathhouse was expanded by 16 bathing cabins and an inhalatorium for the treatment of respiratory diseases was installed. Due to this shift in focus, the Erste Bayerische Petroleum Gesellschaft mbH was renamed in 1914 to Jod-Schwefelbad Wiessee GmbH and André Simon Driessen (1880–1956) was appointed Wiessee's first swimming pool director. By royal decree, Stoop was allowed to use the mineral spring after King Ludwig III. , the last king of Bavaria.

With the outbreak of World War I in 1914, the summer bathing season came to an abrupt end, as many of the spa guests left immediately and only about 7,700 baths were administered that year. During the war years, Stoop found it difficult to maintain bathing operations, as the supply situation in Germany was difficult and tourism declined sharply due to travel restrictions. Regardless of this, the number of baths rose to around 17,500 during the war years from 1915 to 1918. Stoop supported the municipality of Wiessee during the war years with financial contributions for the construction of the church, a loan for the construction of water pipes and provided the neighboring municipality of Tegernsee with funds for the construction of the hospital and the support of the medical team.

After the end of the war and the construction of the 62-meter-long wooden drinking hall, bathing was resumed on May 25, 1919. The number of baths leveled off at around 14,500 and rose to around 35,900 in 1921 after tourism was released. The bathhouse was completely rebuilt with an extension to 60 bathing and 30 relaxation rooms, as well as a renovation of the inhalatorium. On June 30, 1922, the town of Wiessee was awarded the title Bad and was henceforth allowed to call itself Bad Wiessee . In recognition of Stoop's achievements and his services to the community during the war years, Stoop was made an honorary citizen of Bad Wiessee in the same year.

In 1926 the bathhouse was expanded again to 102 cabins. Due to the increased demand for bathing water, further exploratory drillings were made from the spring of 1930 to open up additional sources. In October 1930, at a depth of 602 meters, Stoop came across a new rich spring named after Queen Wilhelmina .

Stoop's wife Willemina died on April 14, 1934.

The bath was at the height of its success in 1935 with the highest bathing frequency before the Second World War with 156,000 uses and a total of 165 bathing cabins. On May 19, 1935, after a two-year construction period, the newly built foyer with a concert and theater hall was inaugurated, the old wooden foyer was relocated to the lake and Bad Wiessee celebrated the 25th anniversary of the spa. The foyer with an area of ​​865 square meters was built by government architect Bruno Biehler , whereas Stoop's previous house architect Alois Degano only designed the theater and concert hall adjacent to the foyer for cost reasons.

Adriaan Stoop died on September 7, 1935 in his family residence Villa de Rijp in Bloemendaal.

Personal

marriage and family

Adriaan met Willemina Bernardina van Deventer at the high school in Dordrecht. Willemina, known as Miente in the family circle , was born on February 3, 1859 in Dordrecht. Her father Christiaan Julius van Deventer (1824-1892) was a doctor of literature and headmaster of the higher middle school, both of which attended. He enjoyed a high reputation as a translator of all kinds of classical works of world literature.

Shortly after Stoop got his diploma as a mining engineer, he got engaged to Willemina in 1878. During the time when he was stationed in Java due to his job, his fiancée lived in Dordrecht. The two were married through a distance marriage through a proxy on August 25, 1880 and Willemina traveled to her husband in Java.

Willemina and Adriaan Stoop had five children.
