The company Kampf & Spindler , founded in 1832 as an office for home weavers in Elberfeld and closed as Paul-Spindler-Werke KG in Hilden in 1970 , has developed over the 138-year history of the company from selling hand-woven silk products in the publishing system to a fully vertically organized industrial company , which began with the raw material and manufactured textile products in four cities and marketed them throughout Europe in its heyday. As a family business, the company has always been run by members of the Kampf and Spindler families and close relatives.

history

Time of the hand weavers

Company address from 1840: Elberfeld, Königstr. 121
Leipzig: sales rooms in Wagner's birthplace

At the beginning of the 19th century there were still many hand weavers in rural areas of the Rhineland . Usually silk scarves and cotton fabrics were woven on hand looms. Usually all family members had to help. The man was sitting behind the loom, the woman was preparing the bobbins. The older children helped. When the woman spooled and drove the wheel with one foot, she often had to keep a cradle moving with the other; because at that time the marriages were almost always children. The house weavers worked for an office clerk who mostly lived in one of the larger cities, but were still their own masters and could divide up their work at will. B. keep a goat in her stable on the side. On a certain day of the week a dealer brought the finished woven pieces of the hand-weavers to the clerk in his hoof wagon, that was a wagon covered with canvas. On the way back he brought new warps and the money for the goods. It was always a feast day for the weaver families.

Foundation of Kampf & Spindler in Elberfeld

Johann Christian Spindler (born July 27, 1801 in Kassel, † January 29, 1881 in Hilden), son of a master roofer and grandson of a weaver in Hunsrück, moved to Elberfeld, now part of Wuppertal , on the Hofkamp. As a merchant, he bought the goods from the hand weavers from 1827 and sold them on.

Johann Christian Spindler and Johann Wilhelm Kampf (* 1799 in Elberfeld; † August 10, 1875 in Hilden) became friends. Johann Wilhelm Kampf came from a family that was already active in the textile industry as a bleacher and yarn dealer in the Middle Ages. In 1832, Johann Christian Spindler and Johann Wilhelm Kampf founded the company "Kampf & Spindler", a semi-silk goods and ribbon factory in Elberfeld . Production was later expanded to include woolen cloths and vests. The first office was on the Hofkamp. In 1835 the company moved to Neuenteich and in 1840 to the newly laid out Königstraße (since 1946 Friedrich-Ebert-Straße ). The Villa Spindler, built at number 121 at the time, still bears witness to the wealth that was quickly acquired in the textile trade. The company was represented with its own sales rooms in the trade fair cities of Leipzig and Braunschweig . In Leipzig, Kampf & Spindler represented Richard Wagner's birthplace .

Separation of the founders

In 1848 the partners separated and continued their business as individual companies. Johann Christian Spindler stayed in Elberfeld. In 1848 Johann Wilhelm Kampf moved to the Hagdorn house in Hilden , which offered him enough space for a home and business. Well-trained home weavers lived in Hilden. As early as 1849, Kampf employed 100 workers who worked on 100 handlooms . Until the beginning of industrialization , home weavers made a significant contribution to the rise of the city of Hilden.

In 1857 Johann Wilhelm Kampf tried to merge the Hilden weavers into a weavers 'and knives ' association. Of 135 local weavers, 62 joined this association.

Business reunification in Hilden

The children of the two founders of Kampf & Spindler in Elberfeld, Wilhelm Kampf (* October 4, 1830 in Elberfeld; † March 27, 1877 in Sanremo ) and Emilie Spindler (* August 2, 1837 in Elberfeld; † October 13, 1919 in Hilden ) married in 1858. This was the reason for Johann Christian Spindler and Johann Wilhelm Kampf to withdraw from their business and to reunite them on October 1, 1863 under the former name Kampf & Spindler in Hilden.

Wilhelm Kampf and Adolph Spindler (born August 9, 1839 in Elberfeld; † April 9, 1895 in Hilden) jointly took over the management of the company, which is now located in Hilden, Hagdorn House, Benrather Strasse 1, with its weighing chamber and storage room.

At the beginning of 1873 Arnold Münker (* October 1844 in Langenberg (Rhineland) , † April 1894 in Hilden) became the third partner in the company. In 1882 Münker left the company and worked as a silk fabric wholesaler in Hilden together with his wife Helene until his death.

After the early death of Wilhelm Kampf, Gustav Adolph Spindler became the sole owner of “Kampf & Spindler” in 1877. He lived from 1873 to 1878 in the previous building built in 1900 Town Hall, now town house . In 1877 he built a new house at Klotzstraße 14. New office rooms were created next door. Two of his sons, Adolf, the eldest, and Paul Spindler learned the textile trade. Adolf Spindler (born August 2, 1865, † January 13, 1956 in Halver-Schmalenbach ) had completed the weaving school and practical training in the Rüti machine factory near Zurich . He joined the company as an apprentice in 1883. Paul Spindler (born February 25, 1872 in Hilden; † March 14, 1949 in Wiesbaden ) joined the company at the age of 17 in 1889. He went through all departments and got to know the company from scratch.

Until 1887 only hand looms were used. The turnery of Kaspar Kirberg (1781–1849) manufactured the handlooms in Hilden on Schwanenstrasse, Klinkenhaus am Klinkenhammer. During the time of the hand looms, only whole silk cloths and clothing fabrics were made on it.

In addition to the office, the factory was built. In Hilden, next to the office, dyed silk yarn , both warp and weft, was wound on bobbins in the winding mill. First the big flywheel was set in motion by a strong man. With the advent of the gas engine , the company installed an Otto gas engine built in Deutz to operate the windmill.

Time of the mechanical looms

In 1886 the first mechanical looms from the Rüti machine factory (Switzerland) were installed in the hall of the winding mill. In the next year, 1887, 48 mechanical looms were built. They were powered by transmissions with a steam engine manufactured in the machine factory of Friedrich Kirberg (* August 1824 - † 28 February 1914) in Hilden, Schwanenstrasse . By 1895 the workforce had increased to 250 employees.

After Gustav Adolph Spindler's death in 1895, his widow Elise, née vom Baur (* 1835 in Lüttringhausen ; † April 29, 1903) and his son Adolf Spindler took over the business and became partners. Son Paul Spindler received power of attorney at the same time. Over time, Adolf was responsible for sales and Paul for manufacturing. In 1896, Paul Spindler succeeded in using an invention on the mechanical loom to produce the quality of pure silk fabrics dyed in the thread with the same good properties as could only be achieved by hand weavers until then.

On August 30, 1897, Paul Spindler married Meta Sondermann in Gummersbach (born September 14, 1877 in Gummersbach; † February 16, 1957). In 1910 Paul and Meta Spindler moved to the newly built Kolksbruch country estate on Hochdahler Strasse on the northern outskirts of Hilden, surrounded by extensive parks. Paul Spindler later made the villa and the surrounding area available to the Reich Chancellor, who came to power in 1933, and in 1934 he and his family moved into the villa in what is now the city park in the city center. House Kolksbruch was converted into a rest home for mothers by the Nazi rulers. From 1945 to 1958, the building was used by the occupation forces before it fell to the Federal Property Administration. The Institute for Public Administration of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia has been located there in newly built buildings since 1965.

During the First World War, Adolf Spindler immediately had to go into the field. He returned home after four years. He did not resume his work afterwards, but transferred the company to his brother Paul and had his inheritance share paid out. Equipped in this way, he withdrew into private life and bought the Schmalenbach estate from the economist Eugen Schmalenbach, where he continued his life and died in 1956.

Company expansions

Paul Spindler expanded production. In 1902 the branch weaving mills in Baumberg, today part of Monheim am Rhein, were added and in 1908 the branch weaving mills in Nastätten / Taunus . With the enlargement of the production facilities, the previous office and storage rooms were insufficient. In 1910, a uniform office and administration building was built at Klotzstraße 22 in connection with the mechanical weaving mill. The architect of the stone-faced house with the little tower at Klotzstrasse 22 was Walter Furthmann . The office and business operations were taken over from the "Hagdorn House".

81 years after the company was founded, the switch from handloom to mechanical operation was complete. As the last hand weaver, Carl Hasbach delivered his last home-made piece of weave in 1913. He was photographed from all sides. The photos served as templates for the bronze monument “Smoking a pipe, wearing a good skirt, shouldering the tree with the bobbin sack hanging on it”. As a result of the turmoil of the First World War, the bronze sculpture by Rudolf Zieseniss from Düsseldorf was only installed in 1929 in the front garden of the administration building on Klotzstrasse (now the Hotel am Stadtpark). The current location of the sculpture is on the corner of Hochdahler Strasse and Berliner Strasse.

Rayon, rayon, pulp spinning, dyeing, printing, finishing

“Loyalty to the company”, Berta Bruchhausen

After five years of research in a test spinning mill set up at “Sondermann & Co” in Gummersbach, the artificial silk spinning mill was opened in Hilden on Walder Strasse in 1931 . In it, man-made fibers from cellulose were produced using the wet spinning process. The name artificial silk comes from the silk-like sheen of the fibers. The term artificial silk is out of date and is no longer used today. This type of textile raw material is called cellulosic filament yarn, for example viscose filament yarn .

On January 1, 1935, Herbert Spindler (* January 4, 1901 - October 10, 1945), son of Adolf Spindler, became a partner.

Paul Spindler's daughter, Judith Spindler (born March 19, 1906 in Hilden; † 2006) had married the diplomat Friedrich Karl von Siebold (born May 11, 1897; † May 26, 1984 in Munich ). He joined the company on July 1, 1934. From January 1, 1935 until the end of the year he was an authorized signatory, from January 1, 1936 partner and managing director. Above all, he created the organization appropriate to the rapidly growing plant. On March 31, 1939, he left the company to return to his old job. 1971 Judith b. Spindler and FK divorce Siebold. After the separation, she took her maiden name Judith Spindler again and spent her old age in Lindau on Lake Constance.

The administration building on Hofstrasse was expanded in 1936. Unused land was bought, boiler houses were added, air conditioning and staff rooms were set up.

Meta Spindler's father's weaving mill "Sondermann & Co" in Gummersbach was taken over in 1937 by the "Kampf & Spindler" company. She produced lining materials.

Hilden at the Walder street art silk mill was founded in 1937 by the rayon manufacturing and Zellwollgarnspinnerei added. "Kampf & Spindler" only procured cellulose boards as raw material, which were dissolved into viscose liquid in large vessels using the viscose process. The resulting pulp, squirted through tiny holes in the platinum nozzles, hardened into artificial silk thread or was transformed into flakes of cellulose. Due to the process of in-house production of rayon, it became necessary to dye, print and finish the fabrics yourself after weaving. In 1931, a bleaching , piece dyeing and finishing plant was built in the buildings of the closed “ Gesellschaft für Autovermietung AG ” between Hochdahler Strasse and Elberfelder Strasse . They were supplemented by a textile printing shop in 1935. The workforce in the group had risen to 2,500.

In its own spinning mills, weaving mills and dye works, the company "Kampf & Spindler" produced linings for women and men as the end product.

On May 21, 1939, textile manufacturer Paul Spindler unveiled the bronze sculpture “Company Loyalty” by the artist Emil Jungblut , Düsseldorf, on his 50th anniversary . The statue is a life-size image of Berta Bruchhausen, who started at the company 40 years earlier as an unskilled worker and worked as a master twister after a long period of service. To decorate the building, it was given its place on the company facade on Hofstrasse. Today the sculpture near the town hall, Am Rathaus 20, is a reminder of the heyday of the Hilden textile industry.

“Kampf & Spindler” in World War II and during the immediate post-war period

During the Second World War (1939-1945) war deliveries were refused and production remained on the civilian sector. The conscription to the military led to a reduction of the staff at this time. The factory halls were destroyed by bombs. Towards the end of the war, the most important manufacturing facilities were dismantled and brought to safety in the basement. The administration and production staff in the basement survived the air raids. The Second World War ended for Hilden on April 16, 1945 with the invasion of US troops, who moved from Solingen-Ohligs and Langenfeld-Wiescheid to Hilden and moved on to Düsseldorf.

During the American occupation, the production facilities at Spindler were initially closed. Only the dye works worked for the private dyeing of clothes. Shortly after the Americans handed over the Rhineland to the British in June 1945, the British ordered 30,000 meters of fabric as early as 1945. With this job, “Kampf & Spindler” recovered and everyday work returned to normal. After reconstruction and the currency reform in 1948, customers could again be supplied without restrictions. The workforce increased again, by 1950 to 2350 employees.

To support the workforce in the post-war period, the Spindler company made areas available to the population on Mettmanner Strasse and Hagdornstrasse for growing vegetables in 1945.

From 1939, the company's name was changed to Paul-Spindler-Werke KG

Gert P. Spindler (born May 9, 1914 in Hilden in the Kolksbruch house; † October 21, 1997 in Erkrath, son of Paul and Meta Spindler) had worked in all departments in his father's company since 1931. From 1933 to 1934 he attended the silk weaving school in Zurich and finally completed a traineeship in London before returning to the family business. After he had learned the trade from the ground up, Gert P. Spindler became an authorized signatory in autumn 1938 , and on May 9, 1939, his 25th birthday, his father took him into the company as a junior partner and made him managing director of the company “ Kampf & Spindler “After the death of his father, 77-year-old Paul Spindler, Gert P. Spindler and his mother Meta took over the management of the company in March 1949.

In March 1951 the cellulose yarn spinning mill went into operation. The last gap in the vertical construction was closed in 1950/51 with the establishment of our own cellulose yarn spinning mill. The company now produced all raw materials in its own group. This was the reason for the renaming of the company, which had previously been run under the name “Kampf & Spindler”, to “Paul-Spindler-Werke KG”.

With the widespread use of man-made fibers made of linear aliphatic polyamides such as Akulon, Dederon, Grilon, Nylon, Perlon, Timbrelle, Miramid and the fibers made of polyacrylonitrile such as Dralon, the next structural change began in 1950. The chemical fibers displaced the cellulose fibers and cotton fibers.

At the beginning of the 1950s, "Kampf & Spindler" replaced rayon fibers with polyester fibers . Until 1957 the polyester fibers were combined with wool fibers.

Large quantities of Diolen / wool clothing fabrics for women and men were produced. The "Paul-Spindler-Werke KG" was the first German textile company to introduce a seal of quality.

In 1957, after the death of Meta Spindler, Gert P. Spindler became the sole managing director until it closed in 1970 .

As the use of man-made fibers continued to increase, Spindler discontinued its own synthetic fiber and rayon production in 1957. The man-made fibers were sourced externally and the principle of being able to manufacture everything in-house was abandoned.

Co-entrepreneurship

Gert P. Spindler caused a stir when he installed a system of employee profit-sharing in his company on January 1, 1951, which was associated with co-determination and codecision rights that went far beyond what was later included in the Works Constitution Act for the entire company Economy was anchored. The 2,500 employees in the workforce participated in a quarter of the profit. This was the practical realization of the idea of ​​"achievement - fellowship"

Gert P. Spindler promoted the company suggestion scheme. In addition to his entrepreneurial activity, Gert P. Spindler was politically and journalistically committed after 1945, especially for the equalization of social and human tensions after the war (refugees - locals, employees - employers) and for reconciliation with the opponents from the last war. In 1950 Gert P. Spindler founded the Working Group Partnership in Business (AGP), which in 1970 had over 200 member companies.

Structural change

In 1963, 220 automatic looms were still working in the factory on Hildener Walder Strasse, one of the most modern weaving halls in Europe, 60 of which were monitored by a weaver. The weaver was helped by colored signal lamps, which could be seen from afar if something was wrong, for example the thread broke or a piece of weaving was finished.

The textile company from Spindler ran well up to the 1965/66 financial year. It then got increasingly into difficulties due to the rapid structural changes on the textile market, which the company was not able to cope with in the long run. In the years 1969–1970 there were massive structural changes with layoffs in the entire textile industry. As early as 1969 Spindler had to sell his company on Hofstrasse, and at the end of 1970 he finally gave up completely. On December 30, 1970, the Paul-Spindler-Werke KG closed after 138 years. At 122 it was the longest textile company in Hilden.

Use of the site in Hilden after all operations have been closed

Klotzstrasse

Only the administration building at Klotzstrasse 22 remains of the silk empire of the Spindler dynasty . After a long renovation phase, the guests of the "Hotel am Stadtpark" have been sleeping there since 1988. You dine in the restaurant "la Scala". Behind it in the Hofstrasse in the Curanum senior citizens' monastery now reside older citizens.

city ​​Park

In 1969 the city of Hilden acquired the Spindler site on Hofstrasse with the park from the Spindler community of heirs. The factory buildings were demolished in 1978. The city designed the “city park” from the previously private park. The music school moved into the villa in the park from 1978 to 1992. Since September 1, 1992 the children of the “Kindergarten im Park” have been playing there with the groups “Itterbonbons” and “Kinderkiste”.

Walder Street

On the former Spindler site on Walder Strasse, the company Gebrüder Happich GmbH produced motor vehicle parts from 1971 until it closed down again and concentrated its activities in Wuppertal. After the company buildings were demolished, a real estate fund began designing the industrial park on the site in 1991, called Itterpark. The combination of office and logistics use enables optimal synergy effects. In addition, the business park scores with high-quality furnishings in all usable areas, the latest technical features and a natural, green environment. The business park is centrally located in the heart of the economically strong and lively city triangle Cologne-Leverkusen-Wuppertal, close to the state capital Düsseldorf and in the immediate vicinity of Hilden City.

Hochdahler Strasse

The centrally located site was completely cleared and is used exclusively for residential development. The only reminder of the Spindlerwerke is the memorial of the last hand weaver, originally erected in front of the Spindler administration, which is now erected on the corner of Hochdahler and Berliner Strasse. After 1970 it was first relocated to Walder Straße, but after 1990 it had to give way to the new Itterpark.

Social commitment of the company

Worker welfare

Sanitary and after-work facilities were created at a high level and regularly renovated in the companies. Paul-Spindler-Werke KG set up support and pension funds.

Company apartments

Since there was no social housing in the nineteenth century, the company Kampf & Spindler began building company apartments for their employees. In 1899 the first could be moved into on Humboldtstrasse. South of the factory premises, the first “Spindler's settlement” was built in 1907 on Seidenweberstrasse. After the Second World War, a second settlement with six houses was built on Hochdahler Strasse with progressive requirements in terms of the settlement concept.

In 1952, the Paul Spindler Works had a housing estate built on “Am Weberschiffchen”. In 1957 a six-family house was added on Schützenstrasse.

When the factory in Gummersbach was closed in 1957, Gert P. Spindler did not simply quit the employees, but the employees were taken over by the Hilden companies. The employees from the factory in Gummersbach moved to Hilden in an eighteen-party house on Hummelsterstrasse. Paul-Spindler-Werke KG built further company apartments in Hilden in 1957 on Bleicher-, Drucker-, Färber-, Schlichter-, Spinner- und Zwirnerweg. In 1957, the company had a total of 80 residential buildings with 247 company apartments.

Foundations

On the occasion of the 50th anniversary of Paul Spindler's work, a sports center for water sports with all accessories was built in Benrath on the Rhine in 1939.

The wife of Paul Spindler, Meta Spindler geb. Sondermann, was a co-founder of the senior citizens' home Erikaweg 9 / Fliederweg in the Erikasiedlung. She left 100,000 marks as the basis for its construction. A few years after the war, shortly before the currency reform in 1948, the silk weaving mill “Kampf & Spindler” donated 10,000 marks to the Hilden city library. The money was available for book purchases. In return, Kampf & Spindler employees were allowed to use the library for ten years free of charge.

In his will, Meta Spindler, who died in 1957, left 400 valuable books to the Hilden City Library.
