In 1882, the "Süddeutsche Cotton-Industrie AG Kuchen" (SBI) was created from the merger of the Staub spinning and weaving mill with the Emil Waibel & Co. company. In its heyday, the SBI operated spinning mills in Kuchen, Geislingen-Altenstadt and Waltenhofen as well as weaving mills in Kuchen and Günzburg under its board of directors, led by Emil Waibel. After the difficult war years, the company, now renamed "esbi", profited from the economic miracle of the 1950s. Esbi now employed over 2,000 workers.

When the potential of hydropower at the factory location itself was no longer sufficient, Arnold Staub installed another turbine on the Filswehr in Gingen, whose energy he brought with a wire rope transmission over a distance of 467 m to the looms of the weaving mill. The tower with the wire cable transmission can still be seen in the SBI Park today

Nice little park to slow down with a chapel and industrial monuments.
