history

In the period from 1421 to 1425 Göschwitz was first mentioned in a document, the village church Göschwitz in 1510.

Göschwitz belonged to Jena between 1922 and 1924, but it was not finally incorporated into Jena until 1969.

On December 22nd, 1885, the Saxon-Thuringian Portland Cement Factory Prüssing & Co. KGaA was founded in Göschwitz by Godhard Prüssing . The entry in the commercial register took place on April 15, 1886.

The Göschwitz company became the main factory of the later Prüssing Group and, after the takeover by the Schlesische Portland-Cement-Industrie AG shortly before the end of the Second World War , became the headquarters of one of the largest German cement companies, the OMZ (Ost-Mitteldeutsche Zementindustrie AG) with the original headquarters in Opole, Upper Silesia .

As early as 1888, the Göschwitz brand found its main sales areas in addition to Thuringia in Saxony and Bavaria . In 1899 Prüssing's company acquired shares in the Central German Portland Cement Factory Prüssing & Co. in Schönebeck on the Elbe .

During the GDR era, the plant was continued as a state-owned company .
