Württemberg cotton manufacture
The Württemberg Cattunmanufaktur was founded in 1766 in Heidenheim an der Brenz , a city in the east of Baden-Württemberg .
history
In 1766, the textile manufacturer Johann Heinrich Schüle from Augsburg opened a cotton printing plant on Heidenheimer Brenzsee. In 1768 he returned to Augsburg and Johann Christian Meebold from Sulz am Neckar bought the building and founded the company Meebold, Hartenstein & Comp. , which since 1788 as Meebold, Schüle & Comp. traded.
After the closure of the continental barrier, the company ran into sales difficulties and was dissolved in 1817. The partner Ludwig Hartmann bought parts of the company and founded the Hartmann company in 1818, which later became the Hartmann dressing material factory .
In 1823 the brothers Christian Friedrich and Johann Gottlieb Meebold acquired the facilities that Hartmann had not taken over and founded the India factory Gottlieb and Friedrich Meebold. After the German Customs Association was founded in 1833, calico printing was expanded. Robert Meebold converted the family business into a stock corporation in 1856 .
In 1966 the production was stopped and in 1981 the textile retail sales were stopped.
The company apartments in the WCM settlement in Heidenheim were sold and the facilities were transferred to WCM Beteiligungs- und Grundbesitz AG , based in Hamburg .
