Life

Heinrich Weule learned the woodworking trade from his father in Alt Wallmoden after attending the village school . Like his brother Johann Friedrich , he was also active as a watchmaker . After his father's death in 1850 he took over the workshop and in 1857 acquired the Mackensen'schen Hof, on the property of which he built a pump and machine factory. Weule supplied the first water pipes for the patch of Salzgitter and the city of Bockenem and developed an automatic self-drinking system for stables, which was later exported to the Dutch East Indies . Mechanical engineering began with the construction of equipment for clay processing. The company also manufactured hollow stone presses and presses for the manufacture of drainage pipes. In 1880 Weule handed the company over to his sons Wilhelm and Fritz Weule.
