Hefefabrik Wulf, Industrial distillery in Werl, Germany
The Hefefabrik Wulf facility featured an eight-story boiler house and a 60-meter tall brick chimney that defined the local skyline of Werl.
Founded in 1897 as a small distillery, the factory expanded to become Germany's largest producer of spirits and yeast by 1909, reaching 2,650 tons of yeast production.
The factory supported local industry development through its production of spirits, yeast, and other products, employing many workers from the Werl region.
The factory produced enough yeast weekly to make 100 million rolls, while also manufacturing various spirits, liqueurs, brandies, malts, fruit juices, and chemical products.
After Fritz Wulf's death in 1903, his wife Clara took leadership and oversaw the construction of a modern complex along Reichsstraße 1.
