This article badly needs a wikification! Who's up to do it? -- Horst-schlaemma (talk) 16:13, 17 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I am starting on it. Below I copied in the article text that needs a serious rework, including crudely transferred References, that no longer are maintained as such.
First step will be to strip the actual article down to a basic content and format, then gradually add section by section. --Archie02 (talk) 11:06, 25 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

While her 113 years long existence she distinguished by some remarkable technical innovations in the areal of textile-industry and supplied all famous wholesale-dealer and trading companies in Germany and further on. In 1936 she published for commerce the first known brand with the suffix ´-sana` in Germany. Hasana J.Hakenmüller has produced in his history nearly all kinds of clothing for young and adults one. Except from gentlemen´s suit beyond others also sockets, ladies-trousers, bathing-dresses, underwear for civilians and military, and finally all above baby- and child-fashion. In the populär mouth this textile-factory simply has been titled with ´J.H.` ob ´I.H.`.

Letter-Head J. Hakenmüller, 1901

History

[edit]

On 1 December 1887 the studied bank merchant Johannes Hakenmüller founded within an old farm- and dwelling-house just in the centre of Tailfingen the textile-factory J.Hakenmüller. During the so-called Second Industrial Revolution he invested in newsome textile-machines, like the originally two decades before in England developed circular-knitting-chair. Because on the agriculture areal there was a source, Hakenmüller constructed til 1900 a chemical and textile fitting-out, with the help of this he now could bleach and refine the mostly simple sawn and nature coloured usual-textiles, especially the underwear. In 1900 too the architect Carl Ammann from Balingen designed him in the so-called home-country-style for extension of the farm- and dwelling house an gableended wing-building in the east at the side of the `Langen Straße`. In 1910 the same building-master got also the order, to construct three kilometres far away a further place for production at the corner of Wilhelm-/Bodelschwingstraße in Onstmettingen, which has been sold after the first world war to the textile entrepreneur Johannes Drescher and his firm ´idreo`. Already in 1901, five years after the first Olympic Summer Games of the modern times, Johannes Hakenmüller fashioned and produced ´sports-shirts`, how a letter-head of this firm testimonies. At that time it still seemed to be German hostile, if you not spoke from ´Turnen`, but from ´Sport` In the same year also started the from him which some other burgomasters and manufacturers together initiated ´Talgangbahn`, a railway between Ebingen and Onstmettingen: a further on indispensable facilitation, to transport with great wagons enough heating (coal-)- but also raw-material (for example the fine macro-cotton from Egypt) from all and to deliver the textile products all over the world. The letter-head of J.Hakenmüller from this time is the first one, who in the background is decorated with the employed steam-boiled locomotive (model Borsig 5009).

When the founder of the firm died in 1917, his second old son Paul still stayed as town-commander in Reims in France while the first world-war, so that his older brother Julius became leader of the enterprise. After the end and the German disarmament Paul recollect in Tailfingen to the production of health-clothes. He designed fashion in accordance to the ´filena`-Technic, an air permeable knitting-art, which should save the body from unnecessary sweat seclusion. For the fans of the getting popular tennis-sports he developed the so-called ´Hemdhose` (shirt-trouser), by which with a special order of buttons was prevent, that the shirt while the competition slide out of the trouser. In 1920 the four sons of the founder of the firm disjoined. Paul (born in 1890) and his elder brother Julius (born in 1888) stayed in the ancestral seat, the both younger ones, Alfred and Karl, founded the same at the Hechinger Straße in an ceded building of fabrication the ´Hakenmüller-Compagnie`, which produced textiles until 1937. The workers have been divided. Those, which habitated at the right side of the river Schmiecha, remained employed in J.H., those who had their homes at the left, could work now in the new enterprise. In 1916 Johannes Hakenmüller, the founder of the enterprise, made a donation, called on his name, of 50.000 Goldmark, with which first have been supported from the first World-War coming back soldiers in need from Tailfingen and their families. Later the capital of this donation has been consumed by the inflation til 1923. The both eldest sun of Johannes, Julius and Paul made to the 50th jubilee of her factory a further funds of 5000 Rikemark to sponsor meritorious coworkes in their retirement.

The working-climate has been legendary: not rarely some employers worked there til sixty years and more, like Karl Rehfuss, up from the foundation of the enterprise in 1887. After the second World War after three male co-workers also to the seamstress Marie Albert has been rewarded the German ´Bundesverdienstkreuz` for successfully working fifty years long in one enterprise.[1]

Saliently over that became this textile-factory by her in the style of the legendary German ´Bauhaus`constructed buildings, which had been designed to the plans of the architect Johann Miller and terminated in the years from 1930 to 1937, at last under the management of the Czech architect and Miller-Assistant Dr. Martin Cäsar.

. “With that this village finally got a municipal impression, and the later in 1980 by a following owner deconstructed buildings had not to shy any comparison which similar buildings in the style of the so called ´New Building` and the architecture of the ´Bauhaus`”, so writes Ingrid Helber in her promotion at the university of Tübingen ´Studies to the industrial architecture in Albstadt` from 1999

The government of Württemberg in Stuttgart granted Tailfingen after two fruitless rounds in the year 1930 the municipal rights. The just ended production-building of Hakenmüller at the main street, the Goethe- and Hechinger Straße, beside older and great firmhouses gave to this place finally “a municipal outfit”, so the judgement of the valuation-commission. The new production-place, which finally also the ancestral- and dwellinghouse of the founder of the firm had to cede, fulfilled totally the demands of the modern ´Bauhaus`-movement: “More light, more air, more room” [[File:Hasana J.

In 1936 Paul Hakenmüller brought with ´Hasana` (abbreviation for Hakenmüller and sana, Latin word for ´healthy`) the first known brand for health clothes to the market. For this one was declared in 1960 projection and registered in 1968. Further brand-names later were ´Hajota` (for ´Hakenmüller Johannes Tailfingen`, resp. Interlock-linen), ´Hastrino` and ´Hanowa` (Hakenmüller Fantasy-Stricknoppen (knitneps)) and ´Hacharmant` (Hakenmüller ladies lingerie)

.

In the second world war in order of rikeminister for armament and warproduction, Albert Speer, to the 15th of February 1944, the production of antiaircraft-projector-motors by Daimler-Benz has been transferred in a part of the round 20 acre great factory-areal of J.Hakenmüller. After the war the firm in the course of the German ´Wirtschaftswunder` all above made winning with the production of men-underwear like leisure- and bathing-fashions for women. Pointing the way became the patented K + K, a fine nep-stuff from cotton, which distinguished especially the Serie ´Lido` (Venezia). K + K stands as abbreviation for ´little clods`, for the from the textile-factory Fouquet & Frautz in Rottenburg changed to J.Hakenmüller leading knitting-master Carl Vollmer developed a mechanical art of knitting, at which periodically the file was picked. Hereby this stuff proved good very elastic like tensionable and for leisure-wear all above breathing-active

.

Because of the production of ten thousands of training-suits with stripe-patterns, mostly for the Federal German defense army (Bundeswehr), there rose up a conflict with ´adidas`. Hasana made the agreement, only to sew up bonds with clearly perceptible two stripes long the training-jackets and trousers. To enlarge the palette of offers and to maintain against the growing market of tricot-producers Carl Vollmer in 1952 also transfirmed little-inched knitting- into stocking-machines, where Piqué-stuff has been made all above for the production of hoses for ladies.[2]

Hasana J. Hakenmüller maintained up to seven branchworks at the same time, which locations reached over an area from Horb at the river of Neckar over Krauchenwies and Innneringen near Sigmaringen (Danube-Valley) til the Lower Bavaria, the ´Allgäu`. First there had been founded in 1921 a branchwork in Straßberg (Hohenzollern), than 1922 in Hausen in the Killer-Valley, than 1934 in Schömberg, later in Gruol and in Stein and Stetten, suburbs of Hechingen/Hohenzollern. The greatest ones from these have been in Weilheim near Hechingen, in Bisingen and in Erkheim in Allgäu in West-Bavaria. After hereditary differences with the followers of his goduncle Julius the grandchild of the founder of the firm saw himself forced in 1970, to sell the J.H-buildings. He chose as the main-location for his firm-headquarter Weilheim, where the since forty years existent branch-work offered the greatest and productive number of seamstresses. On free field in the mostly agricultural stamped village Rolfdieter Hakenmüller, now as single chief of the enterprise, made building by the architect Schaper from Reutlingen a completely plain-leveled production- and administrationhall with greatspace-office. Now circulated the only for baby- and children-fashions produced textiles on one floor from the weaving-mill- and knitting-department to the dispatch

. To that, like already also in Tailfingen with eight, in the lower-town of Hechingen there came three flads for workers for favourable conditions to rent. In the following thirty years Hasana J. Hakenmüller made for himself reputation at nearly all great mailhouses in Germany with collections especially with one of the best Nicki-shearplush-stuffs. For the greatest clients of Hasana, like ´Quelle` and ´C & A`, instead of the own label (a longstretched, yellow coloured ´H` on brighten blue underground) have been sewed the brands-name of them into the collars, like ´Young Canda` and ´Rodeo`. Over that have been supplied order-chains in Austria, the Netherlands and Sweden (Hennes & Mauritz), in Switzerland the Neue Warenhaus AG (Basel), Jelmoli and Migros (Zürich) and Coop. About ten representatives, among these also with Jewish Religion, distributed over whole Germany, the Switzerland and the countries of the Benelux, presented beyond other activities at exhibitions and messes the year long new products of the house of Hasana.

In 1971 Hasana has been award by the German Football Association (DFB) the alone licences-rights for under- and leisure-wear for children from all at that time 16 German football-teams of the 1.Bundesliga. This conducted to an exclusive licence for the Football-World-championship 1974 in Germany, when Rolfdieter Hakenmüller proposed the DFB, to use the by the artist Horst Schäfer (from Saarbrücken) designed official logo also for textiles and hereby he got the rights for utilization. At least Hasana J.Hakenmüller happened in 1996 to get exclusive for Germany the licence for printing the official mascot ´Goaliath` of the Football European Championship in England and projected from 1995 til 2000 with the Slogan ´The Olympic Way` a textile collection of leasure-clothing for skaters, as also for the participants and visitors as official supplier of the 87th European Championship Ice-Figure-Skating in Dortmund 1995. In the year 1996 happened also the taking-over of the firm ´Foxl Young Fashion` in Winterlingen on the Suebian Alb

Logo and brandmark of the in 1996 by J. Hakenmüller-Hasana taken over textile-manufacturer in Winterlingen on the Suebian Alb near Albstadt-Ebingen (South-Western-Germany).

. Up from 1983 Rolfdieter Hakenmüller began to let produce some textiles of his collection in other European countries. First until the civil-war on the Balkans, in Yougoslavia, especially round Zagreb (Croatia) and Karlovac, in corporation with the textile-factory ´Velebit`. But also in Bosanska-Gradiska and Sarajevo in Bosnia-Hercegovina, in Pancevo and Nis in the South of Belgrad, further on in Bitola in Macedonia and Thessaloniki in Greek. Then he also engaged a great textile-company in Banska-Bistryka in Slovakia, by which one of the chiefs of them became representative of Hasana in Hungaria too. Ambitious to sew textiles Hakenmüller gave also to enterprises round Porto in Portugal and finally to Istanbul and Izmir in the Turkey. This last engagement was finished by the terrible earth-quake in that region in 1999.

Because of the increasing cost-pressure by textile low-wage-products all above from South-East-Asia Rolfdieter Hakenmüller prepared already since 1990 for an eventual shut-down of his enterprise. The liquidation of this one by holding the rights for the brand name occurred without social diceases in December 2000. In that year was finished too the charged in firm-song on the melody of Harold Faltermeyers song ´The Challenge` (1995).
