Eberhard Winkhaus
Eberhard Winkhaus (* 1892 , † 1953 ) was a Westphalian journalist, homeland researcher and family researcher. He comes from Halver - Carthausen and is a member of the entrepreneurial family that owns Aug. Winkhaus GmbH & Co. KG , which now operates in Telgte .
Due to a wound in the First World War , he withdrew from business life after the war and devoted himself to homeland and family research.
His extensive main work is the material compiled for the festschrift for the centenary of the South Westphalian Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Hagen in 1944, which, however, due to the war, was not finished until 1947 as a manuscript of almost 3000 pages and never appeared in print. It was not until 1956 that excerpts were published. The significance of the work lies in Winkhaus' extensive estate on the history of the South Westphalian economy, which also contains originals, but above all refers to documents that Winkhaus was able to see, but which are lost or difficult to access today. The estate is in the holdings of the Westphalian Economic Archives Foundation.
