architecture
The current building at Detmolder Strasse 6-10 originally consisted of two individual houses. The house on the left was built in 1838 and acquired by Carl David Weber in 1850 . In 1923 the left and right houses were structurally integrated into a common street front. At the entrance there is an impressive portal and above it the company name CEWECO in large letters. In the immediate vicinity is the Weberpark , which Karl Weber , the son of the company owner , had laid out as an English landscape garden in the 1870s .
history
Carl David Weber from Bielefeld founded the company Carl Weber & Co (CEWECO) in 1850 and acquired a building on Detmolder Strasse that was built in 1838. There he set up his apartment as well as an office and warehouse and bought their high-quality linen from the Oerlinghauser hand weavers . Weber was convinced that hand-woven linen was of higher quality than factory linen and that there was a market for it despite its eight times higher price. He was proved right and soon became the largest fine linen manufacturer in Germany. In Oerlinghausen, the company was soon called CEWECO . His granddaughter Marianne Weber later wrote: The company became a source of prosperity for the village; World air blew through the secluded place. CEWECO was not only the largest employer in town, the company owners were also committed to the social needs of the citizens of Oerlinghausen. In 1890, Carl David Weber founded the Mariannenstift , a hospital with a maternity ward, in the same year sponsored the construction of a synagogue and in 1900 founded an electricity company .
As early as 1903, the Weber & Co. mechanical weaving mill was established on today's Webereistraße . Carl David Weber's grandsons, Georg and Richard Müller , modernized the company in good time and created new jobs. The mechanical production of half- linen from linen and cotton experienced a new heyday and the company expanded. In the 1960s there was a global textile crisis. In 1973 the company in Oerlinghausen had to close, and 300 employees became unemployed or moved to other professions. On the company's property on Webereistraße, Dr. August Oetker KG build new production halls for their products.
In the house at Detmolder Straße 6-10 there is now a joint dental practice, a studio, offices and private apartments.
