Former Georg Winiwarter Tin and Lead Factory
Highlight • Monument
On the history of the old tin and lead factory
The factory was built by Georg Ritter von Winiwarter, born in 1822 in Ukraine (Lviv). He was an engineer and industrialist.
In 1851, he founded the Georg Winiwarter tin and lead factory in Gumpoldskirchen with his brother Joseph Max and the chemist H. R. Gersheim. The factory was intended to produce percussion fuses and galvanized sheet iron based on a patent by Gersheim. Lead products were also manufactured from 1857 onwards. From 1865 onwards, after the departure of his co-founders, he ran the company alone. He produced corrugated iron, boiler systems, and stoves. As early as 1858, he recruited Johann Baptist Ulrich from a German wire drawing company, who gradually took over management over the years, especially when Winiwarter had to retire for health reasons. At the 1862 World Exhibition in London, the factory equipped a fireproof and burglar-proof office (Comptoir) made of galvanized sheet iron. In 1890, Winiwarter finally sold the company entirely to Ulrich.
The factory was apparently shut down in 1976. However, contemporary witnesses report school trips in the 1990s when blast furnaces were still being worked on there.
