The factory in Żydowce was established in 1902 by Count Guido Henckel, Duke von Donnersmarck. Initially, cellulose silk was produced here using the viscose method, from 1917 to the Second World War, apart from silk, ropes for the Navy, powder bags, stockings and silk underwear were produced. Many buildings were built around the factory as housing for employees. Initially, several hundred people worked here, and after the factory expansion, even several thousand. The factory operated until 1944. After the war, it passed into the hands of Poles. As it was quite seriously damaged, the reconstruction works lasted 3 years. Production was resumed in 1948.
In the following years, the plants were repeatedly expanded and modernized, and the range of production began to be expanded. In addition to rayon and viscose fiber, until the bank's bankruptcy, cord, polypropylene fibers and cassette tapes were manufactured. After the collapse of the plants in 2000, no larger plant was built in their place. The factory buildings have not been developed to this day and are slowly starting to deteriorate. It is worth mentioning that the chimney standing on the site of the former "Wiskord" factory is also an architectural attraction of the city - it is the tallest building in Szczecin, measuring 250 meters. Rope jumps are organized from there. It is the HIGHEST object for jumping in the world, Dream Jump (rope jump) has up to 252m and 9 seconds of free fall (it is UP TO 2 TIMES LONGER THAN THE HIGHEST BUNGS IN THE WORLD)
