Oehmes blue paintwork

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Oehmesche blue color factory was founded in 1649 by the Leipzig merchant Sebastian Oehme at the Sehma near Annaberg .

history

Sebastian Oehme was councilor and businessman in Leipzig and involved in the blue color business as a creditor to Hans Friese from Hamburg . Friese died in 1643 and from 1644 Oehme entered the cobalt contract . In the same year, like Erasmus Schindler, he received an electoral privilege to set up a blue paint factory . Oehme never appeared himself and was represented by his representative Paul Nordhoff . Nordhoff had been running a stamping mill since 1647, and on April 21, 1649, on behalf of Oehme, he bought a meadow to build a blue ink mill .

The Oehmesche Blaufarbenwerk was a co-contractor of the Schneeberg cobalt contract ratified on September 11, 1649, according to which it had to purchase 600 quintals of cobalt annually from the cobalt works in Schneeberg . In the following contract from 1659 this obligation was reduced to 400 quintals. According to the Annaberg cobalt contract of October 21, 1653, Sebastian Oehme shared with Rosina Schnorr and Erasmus Schindler in the acceptance of cobalt from the Annaberg cobalt works .

Relocation of the plant

Due to the Annaberg mining industry, but also due to the extensive consumption in the blue paint plant, it became increasingly difficult to obtain sufficient quantities of wood. As early as 1653, the blue color rafting mill on the Sehma was disrupted by the town of Buchholz, which was also authorized to raft . After further disputes, the priority of the steel mill rafts and the blue color mill rafts over the other rafting operators was confirmed. On May 7, 1684, Elector Johann Georg III. a regulation to float enough wood to Annaberg . On April 11, 1685, the electoral decision to relocate the blue paint works to the Zschopenthal hammer mill was issued . The decision was confirmed again on April 23, 1685 after complaints from the city of Zschopau and also by the Oehmes heirs. The blue color plant was relocated to Zschopenthal and continued as the Zschopenthal blue color plant .

In 1688 the electoral supervisor Sigismund von Berbisdorf and the merchant Johann Georg Wagner from Leipzig sold the former blue-colored mill to Christoph Sonntag from Annaberg.

Location

Due to the fact that the river and the place Sehma were named , there was a risk of confusion. Already in 1846 Ernst Wilhelm Richter wrote "at the White Sehma near Annaberg". At the place Sehma Richter did not mention the work. At the mouth of the Kleinrückerswalder Bach in the Sehma there was also the possibility of meeting the high water requirements of a blue paint factory. Also Siegfried Sieber suspected the plant at the mouth of the small creek in the Rücker Walder Sehma. The "Hüttenmühle" (a two-speed grinding mill), which was also called the "color mill" or "cobalt mill", was later operated at the site.
