history
Foundation of the paper mill
Ignaz Schmidutz, a former mayor of Baindt , pursued the idea from 1870 to use the abundance of wood in the Altdorf forest and the constant water supply from the Wolfegger Ach for industrial paper production. The Swiss engineer Walter Zuppinger took up the idea and founded the Baienfurt AG paper mill with the investors Johann Näf-Schappi and Franz Anton Mehr on October 30, 1871 .
The Baienfurt AG paper mill
On October 1, 1911, the Lokalbahn Aktien-Gesellschaft (LAG) opened a rail connection for goods traffic from the Südbahn to the paper mill. In 1928, the LAG sold the steam locomotive FEET to the paper mill, which used them as works locomotive.
The Hungarian-German architect Andor Ákos developed a general development plan for the factory after the First World War.
In the 1950s, the paper mill owned the Pafaba small mine in the Ruhr area , which mined hard coal.
Feldmühle AG from 1968
In view of an expected investment volume of 200 million DM, the main shareholders sold the paper factory to Feldmühle , the largest German paper manufacturer at the time , and "PaFaBa" became Feldmühle AG, Baienfurt plant .
Stora from 1990
In 1990 the Swedish Stora group took over almost all of the Feldmühle's plants, including the Baienfurt plant, which then traded as Stora Billerud . From 1995 the factory was renamed Stora Paperboard GmbH, Baienfurt factory .
Stora Enso from 1998
Stora merged with Enso in 1998 to form Stora Enso ; the Baienfurt plant became Stora Enso Baienfurt GmbH . The pulp mill was closed in 1999; From then on, the pulp for the cardboard production was obtained exclusively from external sources.
Shutdown of production
On September 10, 2008 , Stora Enso's CEO Jouko Karvinen announced the shutdown of production at the end of 2008 under the motto “Stora Enso looks ahead” .
“Stora Enso plans to shut down the board machine at the Baienfurt plant in Germany by the end of 2008 at the latest after local negotiations have been concluded. The machine has a production capacity of 190,000 t of folding boxboard per year. The planned shutdown is the result of ongoing profitability problems as a result of overcapacities in folding boxboard in Europe, the strong euro and cost increases, especially for wood and energy. "
On May 10, 2014, the chimney of the paper mill, which had been a landmark of the Baienfurt community for decades, was blown up as part of the redesign of the site.

As of November 1989, the operational power plants Heidelberg GmbH a pilot plant to verify the laboratory results of the ASAM-process within the pulp mill ( A lkalischen S ulfitverfahrens with A Q and M ethanol ). This ASAM pilot plant was only in operation until 1994 and was demolished in 1998.
