Blue color factory Hasserode
The Hasserode blue paint factory was a factory for the production of blue glass paint in the Hasserode district of the city of Wernigerode in the Harz region .
history
A paint mill in Hasserode is mentioned for the first time in 1683, it was the successor to the smelter on the Beerberg . In 1698 an old and a new paint mill are named. They were on Berg Freiheit, a territory of the Counts of Stolberg within the Brandenburg-Prussian office of Hasserode.
After a cost estimate of 1919 thalers for the construction of a new blue paint factory had already been put up in 1733, this building was probably realized in 1737 by Christoph Adolf Dingelstedt from Wernigerode. Dingelstedt, however, found it difficult to sell the paint products, which is evident from a report from 1739. He therefore had to look around for other interested parties.
They sold the work to the Hamburg merchant Lotz (also written Loos). Immediately in 1777 or shortly afterwards, Lotz sold the work to the church councilor Cipten in Berlin , who, however, sold it to the upper chamber councilor Waitz Freiin von Eschen in Berlin as early as 1778.
In 1798, 1169 quintals of smalt and eschel were produced here.
On November 9, 1834, the Jordan Factor reported “that the local Freyherrl. Waitz von Eschenschen Blauarbenwercke was employed as a controleur Friedr. Engel died on September 24th ac. For several years the same had run a small coffee and tavern business in his official apartment, through which the trade license expires at the end of this year. Since the deceased's official apartment has now been awarded to me by the Baron von Waitz instead of my previous official apartment and I will still move into it this week, I would like this small business without further expansion in the same way as the deceased operated to be allowed to continue " . Count Henrich zu Stolberg-Wernigerode approved this application in the same month.
This tavern, or rather Friedrich Jordan's coffeehouse, was located in house no.142 and is mentioned in a list of residents next to the mountain tavern in house no.143, on Berg Freiheit, which already existed in 1808 .
In 1859, production in the blue paint factory came to a complete standstill. In the spring of 1864, the sawmill owner Heinrich Christian Jacob Niewerth bought the buildings and land. In the same year he converted it into a wood grinding shop , which, however, did not prove itself and was converted into a sawdust mill and converted into a sawmill in 1866. The later so-called Obermühle was destroyed by flames in 1883 together with the neighboring Hotel Steinerne Renne and again in 1908.
The building complex is now used as the Arche community center of the Evangelical Free Church of Wernigerode.
Two newly laid streets near the former blue paint factory were called Kobalthütte and Wasserkunst .
