Troostsche Textilfabrik
Troostsche Textilfabrik, Industrial heritage monument in Mülheim an der Ruhr, Germany.
The Troostsche Textilfabrik features Tudor-style architecture with multiple structures connected by brick walls and prominent decorative elements on its facade.
Founded in 1791 by Johann Caspar Troost, the factory became the largest enterprise in Mülheim during the first half of the 19th century.
The factory established its own school in 1841 for child workers, marking an early step toward industrial education in the region.
The remaining buildings stand empty and require substantial restoration, with ongoing legal disputes between the August-Thyssen Foundation and local authorities.
The original factory used fifteen spinning machines based on Richard Arkwright's invention, making it one of the most advanced facilities in Rhineland.
