Abandoned Factory "Die Mülforter"

"Die Mülforter" was a textile factory.
It was started up in 1905.
For almost 100 years they made textile history.
Even though nearly all manufacturing facilities had been destroyed in World War II they were soon market leader in Europe again.
But in the 80's clothing could be produced much cheaper in foreigh countries so they lost several proceeds.
In 2001 they filed for insolvency.
