Spinning mill building construction Povel
The Povel spinning mill , also known as Povel Werk II , was an industrial building by the Ludwig Povel and Co. company built in 1926/27 by the industrial architect Philipp Jakob Manz in Nordhorn on the Nordhorn-Almelo Canal , together with the similar spinning mill built only a little later of the rival company NINO , he shaped the Nordhorn urban landscape for decades.
After the bankruptcy of the Povel company, Rehers GmbH & Co. KG from Bad Bentheim took over Plant II in 1980 and operated a twisting mill there . From 1983 onwards, Plant II was administered by a rescue company, which was unable to avert the next bankruptcy. In the autumn of 1983, the recently founded effect twining company Norgatex GmbH & Co KG moved into the factory building and operated a yarn spinning mill there until 2002.
Subsequently, there was no new interested party for the factory building. The unused and not listed building was demolished in 2010 despite protests from the ranks of experts in industrial architecture and Nordhorn citizens.
After extensive soil and groundwater remediation measures, a new housing estate was built on the former factory site owned by the Grafschaft Bentheim district - the water town of Povel , which integrates the factory buildings that have been preserved.
Building history
The classic spinning mill building was erected as a five-story, strict structure and extends over a length of 50 meters and a depth of 36 meters on the Nordhorn-Almelo Canal. The 29.5 meter high spinning mill received a 40 meter high stair tower as a landmark. 40,000 fine-thread spindles were set up in the factory halls of the cement-cast building with a clinker facade.
The Povel factory site
When the factories of Plant I were demolished in 1980/81, three textile buildings were spared for reasons of monument protection: the administration building built in 1906, the Spinnereiturm also built in 1906 (today: Povelturm City Museum ) and the New Weaving Mill built in 1949 , which became today's cultural center between 1997 and 1999 Old weaving mill was rebuilt. The spinning mill building, Plant II, did not fall under monument protection
In 1987 a large-scale renovation of the factory premises began. By the mid-1990s, a new urban district, the water town of Povel, was built . Refurbishment and redevelopment attracted national attention.
The spinning mill building, which has not been used since the Norgatex company moved out and is not listed, was demolished in spring 2010.
