Re: Muetzenfabrik
Here the specifications from September 1934 for the PO Muetze, which makes clear that such was to be modeled on the field cap for officers of the old armies or the Reichswehr.
Saris treats this material, too, and it is also in the Herstellungsvorschriften d RZM, but in a later form, ca. 1934.

Re: Muetzenfabrik
Very evocative images. Granted modern German labor law as concerns conditions of work, such a workshop under a roof is not up to legal code.
If only the machines and the walls could talk, of course.

If only you could save those machines and the larger bobbins and i bet some of them had original threads in them, Ben will be having a fit by now lol

Re: Muetzenfabrik
The images of the old workshop under the roof are excellent photography; they have an interesting aesthetic and strange beauty to them. (Although I would not have wanted to work there, especially on a hot summer day....) Just out of curiosity: May I ask where they came from?

HPL--I was doing some research on the firm (I have a Rechnung from Firma Kern) and found the pics. I believe I just inputted mutzenfabrik, kern, lunzenau .

Many thanks - that did it; I found the photographer's work. He's from Colditz, by the way:

He did some fine photographs of other closed-down/abandoned sites as well; here is that specific category:

While I was searching for this, I also found this 4-page chronicle of the Mützenfabrik at Lunzenau (Sorry, German language only):

They carried on through the post-war years (shifting their production to the Soviet Army's needs in 1945) and, with numerous changes, throughout the GDR era and finally shut down in 1995.

HPL--what is interesting is that I have yet to see a Drittes Reich Kern visor, be in Partei, Staat, or Wehrmacht.....
