Hettlage (company)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hettlage was a German textile trading company in Münster .

Foundation and beginnings

Hermann Hettlage completed an apprenticeship at Boecker in Greifenhagen. In 1896 he founded his first textile trading company in Münster, which he sold eight years later to his cousins ​​August and Heinrich Hettlage and to Georg, Julius and Heinrich Boecker. He then founded other textile companies in Hamm , Hagen , Recklinghausen and Düsseldorf .

In 1913 the Hettlage company was converted into a general partnership. In 1916 his eldest son Carl joined as a partner . After the death of the company's founder Herrmann Hettlage in 1920, Carl took over the business as a personally liable partner alongside Clemens Hettlage and Richard Boecker.

Distribution to the sons

After Hermann Hettlage's death, the company was passed on to his four sons Carl, Werner, Benno and Fritz, who soon founded their own branches : Fritz in 1930 in Munich , Werner in Munich in 1937, and Benno later in Königsberg . After the Second World War, the four brothers divided their territories: Carl in Münster, Werner in Trier , Benno in Munich and Fritz in Würzburg .

On January 1, 1961, there was a division between Hettlage Nord with Carl, Werner and Fritz and Hettlage Süd with Benno Hettlage.
