history

The engineer and inventor Johannes Wilhelm Hofmann founded the first "factory for electrical equipment" in Europe in 1902 at what was then Meißner Strasse 12 in Kötzschenbroda to manufacture the patented rivet connectors he had invented for electrical overhead line wires.

The existing initially only four people company won in 1904 for their pioneering inventions and products at the Louisiana Purchase Exposition , the World's Fair in St. Louis , a gold medal. In 1905/1906, Hofmann had a villa built by the builder Adolf Neumann at Bernhard-Voss-Straße 25, and a commercial back building was built in the backyard, which he used as a factory. Right next door was the villa of music director Bruno Krumbholz , in which he also ran his orchestra school. As early as 1911, a factory extension was built (Bernhard-Voss-Straße 27, not a listed building) on ​​the left side of the courtyard by the builder Felix Sommer , who continued the von Neumann company. This new factory building whose gable continuous street frontage was designed villas like, was against the complaints by local residents.

Hofmann expanded his company by building new production halls at Fabrikstrasse 27 , where an administration building and various other factory halls were built in 1921. As early as 1915/1916, the successful entrepreneur Hofmann had a new house built with the Hofmann Villa .

In 1958 a boiler house was built on the property.
