history

The beginnings

Around the same time as the construction of the first Central Station in the royal city of Hanover and the opening of the first lines of the Royal Hanover State Railways from 1843, for example to Lehrte , the owner of the Stemmen manor from Bissendorf and chief commercial officer Dietrich Heinrich Ehlermann founded a grain together with Diedrich Heinrich Kuhlmann in Hanover -Action. According to the address book of the royal capital and residence city of Hanover and its suburbs for 1845, this was initially at the address Kreuzkirchhof 646 at the Kreuzkirche , and only a little later under the changed house number 8.

Also in 1845 there was an advertisement from Ehlermann & Kuhlmann for the expansion of their company in the Hannoversche Zeitung of November 27th :

"In connection with our grain business, we have built a wheat - starch - factory in the local area ..."

Kuhlmann had built a starch factory in the suburbs of Hanover in 1845 and 1846 on his own property, but he disposed of untreated wastewater in the surrounding streams and canals, which then fermented and spread a “very pungent, unpleasant smell”. The residents, at the time the gardeners colloquially known as “ garden cossacks ”, therefore asked the institutional “authorities” for help, whereupon a multi-instance process with lawsuits and counterclaims developed. Professor Heinrich Albert Zachariä , who worked at the Georg-August University in Göttingen , published a paper on the court proceedings, the content of which was in turn published in the Magazin für Hanoverian Law .

When Kommerzienrat Ehlermann died in September 1847, the former co-owner of the company, in consultation with the heirs of the deceased, announced in November 1847 by means of the nationally published Deutsche Allgemeine Zeitung that he would take over the shares and continue as the sole owner of the company, still known as DH Ehlermann & Kuhlmann. Apparently the address in downtown Hanover was merely a trading and sales address, because the list of manufacturers of the trade association for the Kingdom of Hanover, edited by Karl Karmarsch , also explained : “The Kuhlmann starch factory, which was previously operated on a large scale in the suburb of Hanover, is in Relocated to Linden in 1851 ”. At that time, the Paulmann starch factory was already producing in Linden, which with 6 workers 1500 Ztnr. Has fabricated strength ”. No later than 1854 records a statistic for the Office Linden a "working end" at Ehlerman & Kuhlmann 6 PS -strong steam engine "with condensation and balancers. Simple cylinder boiler. Bituminous Coals ". In contrast, until the proclamation of the German Empire in 1871 , Paulmann was apparently unable to assert himself against the new local competitor, who was named in the Hanover address books as the sole starch manufacturer in the same year. Before that, in the 1850s and 1860s, the products from Ehlermann & Kuhlmann's “Noodle and Macaroni Factory” were also mentioned at the sales address at Kreuzkirchhof 8.

Starch Street

In 1862, the starch road leading to the Ehlermann & Kuhlmann starch factory was laid north of Limmerstrasse in what would later become the Hanover district of Linden-Nord . The entrepreneur, who had previously been expelled from the suburbs of Hanover, took advantage of the location's advantage and now channeled his “unbearably” stinking wastewater directly into the river Ihme without any sort of treatment in Nedderfeld, which was previously barely built up - just like the master coppersmith Paulmann with his on-site starch factory before him .

The latest plan of the royal residence city of Hanover , published by Klindworth's Verlag in 1868, showed the plot of land and the outline of the factory at the end of Starkestrasse in front of the Ihme.

At the beginning of the founding period of the German Empire , the starch factory Ehlermann & Kuhlmann processed around 18,000 quintals of wheat in 1871 , most of which was obtained from farmers in the now Prussian province of Hanover , but also from the Duchy of Braunschweig and, in small quantities, from Mecklenburg , Holstein and the Province of Silesia .

But only a little later the company was given up: On March 23, 1873, the following offer was to be read in the supplement to the Kladderadatsch published in Berlin :

"Sale ... Because of the abandonment of our wheat-starch factory, we intend to sell the entire inventory of the same as quickly as possible together or individually, Linden b. Hanover, March 8, 1873.
