factory

The Ehlis file factory was founded in 1829 by Peter Ehlis as a family business. In 1867 it was transferred to the sons of the company founder Wilhelm and Otto Ehlis. In 1873 they produced steel, files, saws and plane irons with 142 workers. Until Ernst Ehlis' death in 2015, the factory was owned by the Ehlis family, who had files made here using traditional blacksmithing . The factory owner's villa was built around 1900.

The oldest surviving factory buildings date from the middle of the 19th century. The company family kept the historical buildings and machinery true to the original. On November 17, 1987, the factory with parts of the outbuildings, the villa and the surrounding park under the UDB nos. 475, 543 and 662 entered the list of monuments of the city of Remscheid. Several soil findings on the site and the neighboring pond are also registered as soil monuments (UDB No. 34 (B))

After Ehlis' death in 2015, the site was sold and the renovation and modernization of the factories began. Manufactories and studios were created and part of the property was made available to the public as an industrial monument. In October 2016, the association for the preservation of the file factory in Schlepenpohl eV was founded , which has the task of preparing, maintaining and operating the industrial monument. On the Open Monument Day 2019, the site was accessible for guided tours.
