In 1889 the shares sugar factory Goldbeck was founded. Freise was the main shareholder and for a time chairman of the supervisory board. The foundation stone was laid on August 12, 1889. The production facility was built for 499,000 marks by the Sudenburg machine factory and iron foundry. A powerful well was built for a further 24,000 marks. The total cost of building the factory was one million marks. Operations began in September 1890. The factory should initially process 6,000 quintals of beets a day. The manufacturing method used quadruple saturation, milk of lime , juice cooker and claritas filter. The factory had electric lighting as early as 1900.

The beet-growing area of ​​about 7200 acres was the tenth largest of the sugar factories in the province of Saxony . With 114 factories and around 496,000 tonnes of sugar, the province was the main production district of the 1889,000 tonnes of sugar produced by the 399 sugar factories in the German Empire .

The Goldbeck sugar factory not only processed sugar beets from the surrounding area, but was also supplied with it from other areas by rail. From 1896 the connecting line to the Kleinbahn Goldbeck – Werben (Elbe) was expanded. The factory employed up to around 350 people at peak times. The population of Goldbeck quadrupled from 260 in 1885, before the construction of the sugar factory and railway, to 1001 in 1905.

In 1911 the corporation reported a profit of 60,152 marks. For the years from 1924/25 to 1933/34, the corporation paid no dividends with annual earnings between RM 251,200 profit and RM 163,500 loss . For the years from 1934/35 to 1942/43 dividends of 6.0 and 6.25% were fixed. The last nominal capital of the corporation in Reichsmark was 1.7 million RM, the liabilities were 7.34 million RM.

Reuse

In 1991 the Goldbeck sugar factory was taken over by Nordzucker and shut down after the 1991/92 campaign. In 1993, about 95% of the factory was demolished. The areas were marketed as an industrial area. The Hanover Natural Landscape Foundation took over an area of ​​4.2 hectares in Goldbeck from Nordzucker.

What remained of the factory was a warehouse built in the 1930s of around 900 m². According to a concept drawn up in 2017, it is to be used as a sugar hall event center.
