Carl Hasbach was the last hand weaver in Hilden. In 1913 he delivered the last workpiece made at home to the Kampf & Spindler company. He was photographed from all sides. The photos served as templates for the bronze monument. Smoking a pipe, dressed in the good skirt, shouldered the tree with the bobbin sack hanging on it. The bronze sculpture was initially placed in front of the Kampf & Spindler administration building on Klotzstrasse in 1929. (today Hotel am Stadtpark). When the Spindler company was dissolved in 1970, the statue first moved to the porter's house of the company's former dye works on Walder Strasse (now Itterpark). The memorial now stands at the intersection of Berliner Strasse and Hochdahler Strasse. Another part of the Spindler company was located here. Some parts of the walls on Berliner Straße, here formerly Mühlenstraße, still come from the old factory buildings. City Marketing Carl Hasbach
