A look into the past: the documentation center glossy

The Medienhaus Aachen offered its friends' district members a special excursion, which she for the first time led to the Documentation Center Glossy in Heinsberg-Bubbruch. The great interest led to the management of Jakob Wöllenweber, the chairman of the Oberbruch industrial park in Oberbruch, three times to enable everyone to participate.

In a brief introduction of Jakob Wöllenweber, the participants found an insight into the company's history of glossy. From the beginning in the 19th century as a start-up company to the development of fully synthetic fibers that became global brands, the first film showed the rapid development of the company. The variety of textile fibers was impressive, about which Jakob Wöllenweber informed in detail.

After the film, the participants were able to explore the exhibition that showed details about the company's history. The guests were particularly impressed by a textile image that was presented at the world exhibition in the USA in 1904, as well as the variety of products on display.

During the tour, Jakob Wöllenweber said that further exhibitions were planned, including on the topics of guest workers and National Socialism. The guests were enthusiastic about the new information and were already planning further visits to deal more intensively with the history of glossy

The Documentation Center Glanzmater thus offers a fascinating insight into the eventful history of the company and shows the importance of these industrial locations for the region.
