BIELEFELD
Nähmaschinenfabriken
Bielefeld in the middle of the 19th century: the industrial revolution has turned the city into a major textiles location. Imported sewing machines, mainly from the USA, are used to further process the materials. They are expensive to buy and hard to service. The two mechanics, Carl Baer and Heinrich Koch, recognise the opportunity and start the first sewing machine factory in Bielefeld.
