The machine factory Ulrich Kohllöffel in Reutlingen was founded in 1862 and was a leading manufacturer of steam engines from 1898 to 1913 .

Benefits

The machines showed a beautiful shape, good construction, precise and impeccably clean work, as well as extremely smooth operation; the latter could also be observed when the machines were subjected to maximum stress. The company's single cylinder machines often had a precision slide control, System Rider, which was influenced by powerful port regulators.

Well-known cabbage spoon steam engines

Data sheet of an old steam engine by Ulrich Kohllöffel

In the Reutlingen industrial magazine there is a steam engine built in 1886 by the Kohllöffel company - one of the oldest still preserved in southern Germany.

A large steam engine that was built in 1942 and has been in service for more than 40 years is one of the most important exhibits in the Maschenmuseum in Albstadt - Tailfingen . The machine is functional, and the 110 hp generator is often started on tours.

A small horizontal machine with a fork frame, piston valve and axis regulator at the free end of the crankshaft and an associated 30 kVA generator are now in the Heilbronn Technical Museum. A horizontal single-cylinder steam engine with a fork frame and piston valve control from 1918, which was originally installed in the Paul Breuninger leather factory in Backnang, is now in the State Museum for Technology and Work in Mannheim.

Albert Gieseler in Mannheim owns a Kohllöffel steam engine (125 HP, built in 1913), which the Landesmuseum Mannheim could not take over. Therefore, he expanded it and restored it in 1984/85.

The oil mill and refinery of J. Wohlbold Nachf. GmbH in Tübingen- Derendingen had a cabbage spoon steam engine from 1919 and two other steam engines, the old chimney at the factory still indicates their former existence today.

Julius Denzel bought a steam engine from the Ulrich Kohllöffel machine factory in Reutlingen for his chemical factory in Tübingen .
