The Factory During World War II
The
Marienthal textile factory was owned by the German
Fritz Ries
(1907–1977) from 1939 until the firm of
Adolf Ahlers (1899–1968) from
Herford-Everdissen (Germany) took over in 1940. The factory employed around 130 people, mainly female workers, until it was shut down in 1943.
Afterward, a supply house for airplane components was put in place on
the factory grounds. More successful economically was the largest (since
1930) enterprise of Gramatneusiedl: the Agricultural Corporation of
Gramatneusiedl. It moved to the Marienthal factory grounds in 1939/40
and rebuilt the factory buildings as stores for grain and also installed
a repair station for tractors and agricultural machines until 1949.
