J. C. König & Ebhardt, Architectural heritage monument and factory in Nord, Germany
The J. C. König & Ebhardt complex features industrial architecture from the 19th century, with structures that exemplify manufacturing design principles of its era.
Founded in 1845, this printing company evolved from producing labels and forms for chicory and mustard to become the world's first business book factory.
The facility employed numerous graphic artists who contributed to creating securities, art prints, and chromolithographic postcards distributed throughout Germany and internationally.
The former industrial site, located at coordinates 52.3794°N and 9.72328°E, now serves educational purposes as part of the University of Hannover.
In 1866, the factory introduced two-color printing presses to Germany, followed by wire-stitching machines in 1878 and fast lining machines in 1879.
