The company was founded in 1854 and operated a spinning mill in Bielefeld and Wolfenbüttel. In the 19th century it was temporarily Europe's largest flax mill, and it was the foundation of the industrialisation of Bielefeld and the surrounding area of East Westphalia. In 1974 production was discontinued and today the company buildings host the Bielefeld adult education center (Volkshochschule) and a museum.
