history

In 1760 Johannes Kolb opened a specialty and ells shop on the market square in Kirchheim unter Teck . Together with two journeyman weavers from Switzerland , he made striped beds on two looms, scarves for women and handkerchiefs made of cotton , much to the displeasure of the local cloth and linen weavers' guild .

Based on an input from the July 19, 1763 in Wuerttemberg Mr Duke Carl Eugen he received approval to operate a factory for the production of striped fustian , cotton and semi cotton neck and handkerchiefs and the appointment of two independent guild weavers. Renewed submissions from August 30, 1764 and March 20, 1765 enabled him to expand his activities up to and including unrestricted production permits including bleaching and dyeing .

In 1775 Johannes Kolb acquired real estate “behind the Seelhaus” in the Ötlinger Vorstadt and built a residential building with a workshop there. From here the company developed until the end of the 20th century.

On January 1st, 1800 he took on his son Johann Jakob Kolb and his son-in-law Konrad Friedrich Schüle as partners and named the company Kolb & Sons . In 1801 he signed the company as a general partnership Kolb & Schüle to the two above-mentioned.

From 1856 to 1870 Kolb & Schüle had a branch in Neuffen . In 1897, the Bissingen an der Teck factory started operations as a weaving mill .

On March 22, 1898, with effect from July 1, 1897, the company became a mechanical colored weaving mill. Kolb & Schüle converted to a stock corporation; at that time around 800 people found work on 387 looms . The entry in the commercial register at the district court of Kirchheim unter Teck was made on May 24, 1898 under HRB 101 (today: AG Stuttgart, HRB 230101).

In 1912 an in-house cotton mill was opened.

In 1918 the mechanical flax spinning mill in Urach was taken over; on June 7, 1918, the company changed its name to mechanical flax spinning, cotton spinning and colored weaving, formerly Kolb & Schüle AG ; in the same year, on November 5, 1918, the name was changed to Kolb & Schüle AG .

In 1920 the Bayreuth flax spinning mill in Laineck was acquired, which was shut down in 1928.

From 1921 to 1993 the company Gg. Langheinrich GmbH & Co. KG with the plants in Schlitz / Hessen is a subsidiary of Kolb & Schüle AG.

In 1922 the Kolb & Schüle AG plant fire brigade was founded. A flax roasting plant was put into operation in Baiersbronn - Mitteltal in 1923 and closed again in 1930. In 1931 operations in Urach were closed. Before the global economic crisis , Kolb & Schüle AG employed 1,752 workers on 835 looms and 27,764 spindles in their factories.

On April 1, 1938, the A. Gutmann & Co. GmbH spinning and colored weaving mill in Göppingen was taken over.

At the end of the Second World War, there were intermittent production restrictions and, ultimately, plant closures and work breaks.

The company Carl Faber & M. Becker in Weilheim an der Teck was acquired in 1968. In 1980 a sewing branch was set up in Münsingen -Böttingen.

On September 14, 1990, Kolblan Testiles SA was founded in a joint venture with Naoussa Spinning Mills SA (Greece) . A ring spinning mill with 14,112 spindles was built and set up near Thessaloniki . The existing spinning mill in Kirchheim unter Teck was shut down and the systems were sold to China. In 1993 the shares were sold to the joint venture partner.

In 1993 the main activity, the production of fiber and downproof fabrics, was also separated. The operational activities outsourced to k & s fabrics GmbH & Co. KG were taken over by Gebr. Sanders GmbH & Co. KG in Bramsche .

The upholstery fabric manufacturer Aste in Eislingen and the Laichinger Proflax textile manufacturer were acquired in 1994. In 1995 the company Eisenhut & Weitzel GmbH & Co. KG, Munich, was acquired, in 1996 the becon classic Berliner Konfektion GmbH & Co. KG and the abw Altdeutsche Buntweberei GmbH & Co . KG in Hünsfeld and a 50% stake in the Russian BERMOtekstil AG.

In 1997 the complete solution from the textile sector took place. The main activity became the real estate business.

In 1999, the merger with Masternet GmbH (Frankfurt) to Masternet AG was supposed to take place, but this did not materialize. Business should be geared towards the telecommunications sector. The Annual General Meeting on December 29, 1999 also approved the management's proposals, but the bankruptcy meant that the resolutions were not implemented.

On April 18, 2000, insolvency proceedings were opened at the Esslingen District Court (Az. 2 IN 314/99) at the request of the main creditor, Deutsche Bank . On January 19, 2008, the proceedings were reversed.

On February 5, 2019, Kolb & Schüle Aktiengesellschaft was officially deleted from the commercial register due to lack of assets in accordance with Section 394 FamFG.
