United Raw Material Factories
The United straw fabric factories AG was a German company in the paper industry with headquarters in Dresden and had the legal form of a joint stock company . It was founded in 1886 and existed until it was expropriated after World War II.
The entrepreneur Emil Nacke had Kötitz that since 1935 to Coswig heard the straw fabric factory Tännicht founded, which probably began in late 1884 with production. Early on he tried to merge with other producers. In February 1886, the United Strohstoff-Fabriken AG was established as an association of eight German straw pulp factories; other important locations were Dohna and Rheindürkheim . Nacke himself withdrew from the company in 1898. As a board member, Amatus Otto Unger (1838–1914) was involved in the company's management.
From 1912 to 1914, in neighboring Naundorf , today a district of Radebeul , as Arbeiterkolonie the settlement of the United straw pulp factories Coswig built. Production came to a brief standstill during the First World War . From 1916 wood pulp was produced.
After the Second World War , the company lost its factories in the Soviet zone of occupation through expropriation, therefore relocated its headquarters to Rheindürkheim in 1948 and changed its company to Rheinische Zellstoff-AG . The company was dissolved in 1963.
After 1948 the plant in Coswig was initially continued as VEB Zellstoffwerk "Philipp Müller" , which in 1968 became part of the United Zellstoffwerke Pirna . Production ended here with the ban on discharging untreated wastewater into the Elbe on June 1, 1990.
