In 1789, commercial councilor Benjamin Gottlieb Pflugbeil, owner of a calico printing shop in Chemnitz, set up a bleaching and dyeing works on what was then Kohlwiese.
20 years later, in 1809, Christian Gottlieb Seeber, councilor of commerce, founded a cotton spinning mill with initially 160 employees for his weaving mill in Chemnitz - the birth of the "old cotton". On June 1, 1815, Otto and Ernst Iselin Clauss take over the cotton spinning mill and the bleaching works. By the end of the 19th century, the company gradually developed into one of the largest spinning mills in Saxony.
In the years 1900 to 1904, the industrial complex experienced another fundamental production expansion to become one of the most modern spinning mills in Germany. During this time, the so-called new building and the new steam power station (today the boiler house) were built; the twisting shop (shed hall) and the winding shop (hydraulic engineering) are significantly expanded and the administration building is also newly built.
With the death of Ernst Stephan Clauss in 1925, an era of impressive entrepreneurial brilliance and social responsibility came to an end. In the following years and also after the continuation as a state-owned enterprise from 1947, the cotton spinning mill offered wages and bread to many people in the region. In 1989, around 1,200 people were employed at the headquarters of the VEB United Cotton Spinning and Twisting Mills in Flöha, today's "Alte Cotton".

A completely new city center is currently being created from a spinning mill - the only one of its kind in Germany.
