history
The company goes back to the establishment of a paper mill in Relliehausen am Solling in 1584 by the papermaker Merten Spieß. The sovereign, Duke Erich II. , Granted permission for this on February 27, 1584. It was founded on the river Ilme , which, due to the filter effect of the sandstone in the Solling, offered the particularly soft and pure spring water, which is crucial for high paper quality, and still offers it today . The company known in literature as the Relliehausen or Dassel paper mill, initially just one of many of this type between the Weser and Leine , was the only one of them to survive over the centuries.
The factory remained in the possession of the Spieß family until 1769. On August 30, 1769, Johann Jacob Heinrich Andrae from Petershütte bought the paper mill for 4500 Reichsthaler. After Andrae's early death, his son took over the mill. On August 13, 1884, HJ Heinemann from Hanover acquired the paper mill from Oskar Andrae and immediately began building a new production facility. When unforeseen difficulties and costs arose, he finally felt compelled to give the factory back and sold it to the Hahne family. Since the takeover by Carl Hahne in 1886, the company has been continued under the current name Hahnemühle.
In 1902 Hahnemühle merged with Schleicher & Schuell from Düren, which became the sole owner in 1927.
During the Second World War, the paper makers and technicians of the company forged on behalf of the Reich Security Main Office as part of Operation Bernhard successfully banknote paper of the British Pound .
In 2004 Hahnemühle was separated from the Schleicher & Schuell group and has been independent again since then. It has subsidiaries in the US, UK, France and China.
