Life

As everything began

The "trades" Andreas had the ascent of the simple forges to the largest private owner of iron work of Austria in 19. Jh. production. In swan mountain (Steiermark) as a son of a Hafnermeisters born, became he forgingassociated.

made attentive after its moving years as Werksleiter and inventors on itself, since it succeeded to him to roll out iron sheet metal arbitrarily thinly. Thus it manufactured cut Pretspindeln for paper Mueller precisely to and for a gold worker Drahtwalzen. It based into the Steiermark the sheet mills Krems (1808) and Gmeingrube (1817).

1814 received from the Voitsberger forging guild the master's certificate and made themselves independent with a small rolling mill with Leoben. It became in such a way admits that even ore duke Johann visited the work. it moved to 1817 to Lower Austria.

At the zenith of success

Around 1817 Andreas at the inlet of the Jessnitzbaches created an iron and rolled plate factory into the large Erlauf, the today's Neubruck with Scheibbs. Before the establishment of work a hammer work, the "semolina hammer" existed, with a nail nagelschmiede to the of the Jessnitzbaches into the large Erlauf.

acquired 1817 the hammer, let the old production places tear off and established to 1820 the "first k. k. Iron, stealing and rolled plate factory", those by rising need and business fate in the course of the time

• four large iron sheet mills,
• four iron stretching rolling mills,
• two cut rolling mills,
• six reverberatory furnaces,
• three pulling (=Schmelz) fire,
• two large pulling hammers,
• furthermore various boring and screw cutting platforms, Schmieden and other workshops covered.

received the exclusive privilege on the production of all kinds from stretching iron by means of rollers as well as on pressed head nails. By rising need and business fate the factory became the largest and most modern iron and rolled plate work in the monarchy. To the rolling mill in Neubruck it established the iron work in Kienberg to 1823.

received often the support from emperor Franz I., so for example with the development of the Erlaufstauwehrs, which the Scheibbser hammer gentlemen wanted to prevent. In addition its workers were freed considering the national political necessary production (e.g. rails for the new railways, ship plates, from the military service. Between 1821-40 it received several privileges.

The "way hammer" in Kienberg was transformed 1832 by Andreas to a gas tube factory. Likewise 1832 acquired Andreas the box building with Lunz at the lake. In order to use water power of the Ybbs, it let an iron rolling mill establish here. Only few autominutes from Lunz far away, southward, in the local part box, the was built for 1855 by it, which with figures from Mariazeller cast iron was decorated.

The region, which possessed for a long time a tradition in the iron and steel industry and therefore Eisenwurzen was called, experienced a renewed upswing, the factories was in neighbourhood of the factories of Franz value home in Scheibbs Neustift as well as the factory Gaissmayer & in Scheibbs Heuberg.

But also its social commitment for its up to 800 workers - establishment of houses and old people's homes - was not exemplary and for times at that time matter of course. The "brother drawer" in pc. Anton to the Jessnitz was furnished 1868 as supplying house for workers of its work come into emergency.

Andreas was married with his Mrs. Helena, his son Andreas died as a child and like parents in the Mausoleum in Scheibbs was buried, a Gedenktafel reminded this very day of those mourning parents. Andreas was raised 1863 into the nobility and was allowed to call itself from now on Andreas's von

Iron and rolling mill

From the work settlement created by it close of the iron and rolled plate work developed finally the place Neubruck, designated after from the 1830 established "new bridge" over the Erlauf.

The area exists the work buildings surrounded by garden plants beside the "new bridge", which gave the name "Neubruck" to the company-owned housing estate, seen from the north left of the "Traiteurhaus", hotel and dwelling of the foremen and in the center. Right stand between 1831 and 1834 the established Andreas chapel, a domed structure with and afterwards the manor-house of the On the right of direction Gaming the 1821 builds weir over the Erlauf.

Today remind factory plant, manor-house/lock and chapel in Neubruck with Scheibbs, the the in such a way specified and the in Scheibbs as well as the brother drawer in pc. Anton of the Jessnitz as well as the holy bridge in box with Lunz of working

Their figures represent the name cartridge of the married couple - the holy empress Helena, Apostel Andreas, to the holy Johann Nepomuk and the holy Florian. Besides are still another high-rising up crucifix and a beautiful Madonna. 1861 collapsed the bridge with a devastating tempest. It was however immediately again established.
