Hefefabrik Wulf

Hefefabrik Wulf was a production facility in Werl featuring distinctive industrial brick buildings. The site was defined by an eight-story boiler house and a 60-meter tall chimney that dominated the local skyline.

The distillery was founded in 1897 and quickly grew into one of Germany's largest producers of spirits and yeast. Following the founder's death, his wife took over and expanded the facility into a modern factory complex.

The factory supported local industry development through its production of spirits, yeast, and other products, employing many workers from the Werl region.

The factory site is located on Reichsstraße and is accessible from the city center. Visitors can view the external structures from public areas and observe the industrial architecture from the surrounding streets.

The company produced large quantities of yeast for the food industry, with weekly capacities that enabled millions of baked goods. Beyond yeast, the factory was also a versatile chemicals and food business with a broad product range.
