Tuchfabrik Pastor/Neuwerk

The Tuchfabrik Pastor/Neuwerk facility spans multiple buildings with characteristic industrial architecture features, including a mechanical weaving hall constructed in 1912.

Founded in 1856 by Gottfried Pastor, the textile factory operated until 1960, surviving ownership changes and significant damage during World War II.

The factory employed 300 workers, mainly women, specializing in the production of fine yarns that contributed to Aachen's textile manufacturing reputation.

The restored industrial complex now functions as a residential and commercial space while maintaining its protected status as a historical monument.

The site's history extends to the 14th century when it housed a mill that later transformed into a paper mill before becoming a textile factory.
