The first building was a two-family house for foremen on Grubenweg, which leads to the factory gate, in 1898. In 1900, the director's villa for the plant manager was built on Rhader Weg. By 1904, more apartment buildings had been built on these two streets, making a total of eight civil servants' houses with 29 apartments. The individual design was elaborate; curved gables, bay windows and decorative half-timbering. This part of the settlement was planned and built by Paul Knobbe, the architect of GBAG, and by machine inspector Wenzel Köller.
