Mittelland Gummiwerke
The Central Plateau rubber Werke AG in Hanover was one of the three major rubber factories of the city. The location of the stock corporation , founded in the 19th century, was Starkestrasse in the (today's) district of Linden-Nord .
history
The company was founded in 1882 by the businessman Leonhard Lennartz , initially under the name Neue Hannoversche Gummiwaren u. Patent Packungs-Fabrik Lennartz & Co. , from 1887 on as Hannoversche Aktien-Gummiwarenfabrik, formerly Lennartz & Co.
In 1885, Gummistraße was laid out on the site of the factory (and renamed Wilhelm-Bluhm-Straße in 1950 , later partly also Walter-Ballhause-Straße ).
The rubber factory produced technical soft rubber products that were exported abroad even before the First World War .
In the fledgling Weimar Republic , the company was renamed in 1920 in Plateau rubber Werke AG , having reached foreign markets to supply with surgical products, rubberized fabrics, rubber balata - belts and hoses and balls.
In the mid-1920s, the company began producing toys , including domestically and internationally patented dolls that the company advertised as
"Hit of the doll production."
With the purchase of the neighboring buildings, which were previously used by the Hanoverian branch of the company Vereinigte Gummiwaren-Fabriken Harburg-Wien , Mittelland AG rose to become the big rubber factories like Continental AG and Excelsior and now owned land of 24,000 m². But like the two larger Hanoverian companies, Mittelland AG also got into economic difficulties at the end of the 1920s due to the global economic crisis . A merger sought by Continental AG was rejected by Mittelland AG and instead went into liquidation , similar to the nearby Hanover cotton spinning mill .
In 1929 the real estate was brought into the Mittelland Gummi GmbH as capital . "Union Mittelland Gummi GmbH & Co Grundbesitz KG, Hanover is now part of the Continental Corporation".
After the Second World War , in 1947 a HAGUMA Hannoversche rubber factory offered molded and injection-molded articles from “ hand-made ” manufacture in Strength Street 14 .
On the collector's market - for example from the time of German hyperinflation - stock papers from the Reichsbank treasure that have been devalued .
