Date taken1872DescriptionPremises of the Woollen Mill at Lobethal [See B 362 for a similar photograph]. The woollen mill was built in the old premises of the FW Kleinschmidt brewery. In 1870 equipment from a tiny mill in Hanhndorf was moved into Kleinschmidt's along with new machinery. Buildings were added to the mill although obtaining an adequate water supply was always a problem. In 1887 Scotsman Robert Redpath came in as manager and productivity increased. The mill provided uniforms for railway workers and the armed forces
History/biographyFriedrich Wilhelm Kleinschmidt is Clara Serena's Grandfather.
