The company was founded in Wegberg in 1912 by the businessman Ferdinand Bernard Bartmann , his son Josef Bartmann and Messrs. Meer, Krebs and Herold senior. founded under the company "Bartmann & Sohn GmbH" . The object of the company was the " operation of a cotton spinning mill, in which related products can also be manufactured and, among other things, the yarns can be further processed ". Bernard and Josef Bartmann were appointed as managing directors. The buildings of the recently bankrupt May company in the Wegberg district of Beeck, Industriestraße 45 were used. Bartmann and his family lived in the spacious Art Nouveau villa with a large park and a pond at the entrance to the factory premises. An der Linde road towards Beeck were workers' houses built.
Around 1920 Josef Bartmann left the company to take over the management of a cigarette factory belonging to his father-in-law Jakob Oldenkott in Neuss . His successor was Dr. jur. Ferdinand Herold, a son of Carl Herold , member of the Land and Reichstag , who married Bernard Bartmann's daughter Margarethe in 1914. He died prematurely on October 31, 1935 after an operation. On April 14, 1938, Bernard Bartmann retired from management at the age of 83 and died 9 months later.
During the Second World War , Bartmann & Sohn GmbH also employed around 400 forced laborers who were housed in a civil labor camp.
After the war, the company was renamed "Feinspinnerei Wegberg GmbH" . In the period that followed, it was possible to survive many textile crises with niche products. The company was Wegberg's first company to employ Turkish guest workers . In 1992, however, sales fell by around 40% compared to the previous year. As a result, the company management decided to cease operations on December 31, 1993.
Since 2010, the site has been operating under the name "Wegberger Service- und Gewerbepark" with its approximately 60,000 square meters of land and 14,000 square meters of commercial space, the striking chimney with fire water tank and the old manufacturer's villa . Small businesses were set up in the partially renovated halls, and the entrepreneur's villa was initially used to house a law office and then an educational facility run by TÜV Nord .
