Paper mill in Neumünster

The historic industrial building of the Neumünster paper mill has its origins in the 19th century. In 1849, the entrepreneur Gottfried Möller bought the site of today's paper mill and started a dye works for colored and chrome paper in new rooms. Gottfried Möller, son of the paper miller Claus Hinrich Möller from Groß Kummerfeld , concentrated on dyeing paper after completing an apprenticeship in papermaking . To make it shiny, he constructed smoothing stones himself. As early as 1850 he described himself as the “paper dyer and owner of the paper dye works of the fatherland industrial association in Neumünster ”.

The current building of the paper mill only gained importance in the company's history when a large fire destroyed the main building of the colored paper mill on January 19, 1911 , and this building was extended and the paper dyeing plant moved into it. In 1934 Robert Wahle took over the colored paper factory and used it for a beekeeping equipment company; he rented other premises to other companies. The city of Neumünster took over the building in 1990 to set up an industrial museum here. However, these plans came to nothing.

In 1994 the publisher Uli Wachholtz bought back the house of the forefathers and restored the old building, which today has a wide range of uses on 2,200 m² as a service center for the paper mill. Today the paper mill is not only a service center, but also a cultural center with an attached restaurant. Numerous art exhibitions - also as part of the Kunstfleckens in Neumünster - take place regularly in the premises of the old factory.
