Hospelt, Familien- und FirmenarchivIn 1964, Adolf von Lauff donated the estate of his father, the Rhenish poet Joseph von Lauff (1855-1933), to the city of Cologne. He had married the daughter of the Cologne factory owner and city councillor Wilhelm Anton Hospelt (1820-1893) Josephine Hospelt in 1882. Therefore, the company and family archive Hospelt, which had fallen to the family through inheritance (via Artur Hospelt?), was also part of the Lauff estate. This was separated from the Lauff estate (Order 1170) when it was taken over and set up as a separate portfolio (Order 1175). On the occasion of the review and order of the Lauff estate, the Hospelt estate was also rearranged. Some of the documents still in the Lauff estate on the Hospelt ink works (original minutes of shareholders' meetings; managing director correspondence Adolf v. Lauff) were incorporated into this collection. In the Lauff estate only those files remained which had arisen as a result of Lauff's share as a shareholder of Farbwerke. The archives of the Hospelt collection comprise four archive cartons. They were arranged roughly, the company files according to subject groups, the family papers according to persons. The order found was maintained - even if it mixed the provenances in various ways - but more strongly structured. The individual pieces were summarized and briefly characterized under Subject resulting from the respective existing material. The descendants' tables attached to the index are intended to clarify the family relationships and the inheritance of the company shares of Farbwerke Hospelt. On July 2, 1844, Wilhelm Anton Hospelt opened a colonial material and paint shop in the house at Apostelstr. 9 in Cologne. 1879/80 Acquisition of the bankrupt Aktiengesellschaft für chemische Bleiprodukte und Farben in Ehrenfeld - 1893 Conversion of the company into a GmbH (limited liability company), in which the heirs of W.A.
