History and use
In 1867 the company "Tacke Lacke" was founded in Lackhausen and subsequently the paint factory with its factory owner's house was built. The company emerged from an even older company that was founded in Wesel in 1809. The chemist Ida Tacke (1896–1978), who discovered the chemical element rhenium , emerged from the family of manufacturers . The company was able to establish itself permanently and, based on the place name, used the advertising slogan “Lacke aus Lackhausen”.
The paint manufacturer Henkes Lack Union GmbH is currently based. This is a chemical company with a high degree of specialization. In 2015, Henkes Lack Union GmbH bought the entire site and further expanded the production area internally.
