history
In 1864 , Carl Immanuel Cabos († 1885) , originally from Prussia , founded a company in Gumpendorf that was later renamed Erste Wiener Cakes- und Biscuits-Fabrik Charles Cabos . After his death, his adopted son Christian Mörzinger-Cabos († 1. 1922) took over the company. Cabos became very successful and was able to achieve sales successes in the area of the dual monarchy . Cabos was a participant in the first Viennese culinary art exhibition in Vienna in 1884 . The company expanded and a new factory was to be built at the end of the 19th century.
For this purpose, Christian Mörzinger-Cabos acquired an extensive area at Hernstorferstrasse 27 in Unterbaumgarten in 1898 . On February 28th, permission was granted to block the area for an administration building, main plant building, boiler and machine house and several ancillary wings. The architect Franz Fröhlich was commissioned with the planning , Alois Rous carried out the master builder work on behalf of engineer Karl Stigler . The iron construction came from Max Wahlberg and the steam chimney from Ludwig Gussenbauer. Separate building permits were obtained for the individual properties. The factory was completed on November 9, 1903 and expanded in 1910 with a two-story extension with a connecting wing to the main factory building.
The factory in Mariahilf was at Gumpendorfer Strasse 55. There were defeats at Am Hof 5 and at Kärntner Strasse 27. Around 1900 Charles Cabos received around 24 gold and silver medals at exhibitions. As the owner of the company, Christian Mörzinger-Cabos was appointed supplier to the court for wine, tea and dessert bakeries.
After the death of Christian Mörzinger-Cabos, the company was converted into a stock corporation on his instructions at the time . The company became the property of Vonwiller Walzmühle and Getreide AG . A few years later, the professional management took over the deli factories in Lobositz, North Bohemia . The company name was changed to Cabos-Deli AG .
Shortly afterwards, in 1928, the company was sold to Länderbank in Vienna. The Great Depression of the 1930s also put Cabos in dire straits. In 1934 the factory took over the production of the then famous "Koestlin brands". The Koestlin-VertriebsgmbH was in 1939 Cabos incorporated. With the outbreak of the Second World War and the changed political and economic situation, Cabos came under the umbrella of the Julius Meinl Group as an independent company .
After the end of the war, part of the old shed halls (main factory building) was replaced with a new supporting structure or ceiling reinforcements in 1972. In the same year a sales building was built for the Kunz brothers on the still vacant land on Hütteldorfer Strasse. Cabos GmbH existed until the 1980s.
Factory building
The confectionery factory on Hernstorferstrasse stood on a rectangular plot of land that was enclosed by four streets. The largest building was the main factory building. It consisted of two single-storey halls with a basement and a floor space of approximately 60 × 40 meters. The shed roof construction was optically the determining element from outside. The outer walls were mainly made of bricks. The ceilings were supported by wrought iron girders and stands.
