Emil Grohmann
Emil Grohmann (born March 4, 1856 in Würbenthal ; † August 6, 1905 there ) was an Austrian industrialist .
Life
Emil Grohmann studied at Aachen Polytechnic Engineering and was in the winter semester 1873/74 at the local Corps Rhenania active. Then he joined the management of the linen thread factory Grohmann & Co. in Würbenthal and ran it together with his mother Emma Grohmann nee. Wagner, who took over the management after the death of his father Guido Grohmann in 1873. He was a cousin of the industrialist Robert Grohmann . The factory in Würbenthal had been converted from a small business into a machine-operated linen thread factory by his grandfather Josef Grohmann (1792–1873), father of Adolf Grohmann .
Emil Grohmann was mayor of Würbenthal from 1882 to 1905 and owned an estate as his residence. Under his management and that of his mother, who died in 1896, the company was expanded considerably and a company pension scheme, company apartments, a factory bathroom and other facilities were set up for the employees. In 1900 Pochmühl and Markersdorf, two competing companies, were bought and modernized. His son Fritz Grohmann , who was slain in a Czech internment camp for Sudeten Germans in May 1945 after the end of the Second World War , continued the company until the family was expropriated by Czechoslovakia in 1945.
