A technical monument of the first order can be found in the paper mill Wolfswinkel, founded in 1762: the still functional production department for hand-made handmade paper. The plants were originally located in the south of Eberswalde paper factory Spechthausen (founded in 1781) and were built after their decommissioning 1956-1957 in Wolfswinkel. These include two "Dutch" in which the raw material is ground and mixed, three tiled Schöpfbütten, cast iron presses and a calender to smooth the finished sheets.
The water tower and the paper machine hall (1928-1929) built under the direction of the Siemens architect Hans Hertlein are the main signs of the radical modernization of the twenties of the 20th century. The Berlin-based Siemens Schuckertwerke had acquired the Wolfswinkel paper mill in 1917 and produced cable and insulating papers there.

Paper has been made here since 1765, and even the Queen of England got her paper from Wolfswinkel. Today it is an industrial monument that is unfortunately falling victim to decay

Here at least the condition of the buildings should really be secured. Otherwise the striking silhouette will soon disappear.
