A short history about the CAP Lunzenauer Mützen GmbH:
In 1918, the cap factory was built by the brothers Bruno and Arthur Kern. In the following years, the company developed into a leading manufacturer of headgear. In 1939, 150 people worked in the factory. After 1945, the factory produced mainly for the Russian army. From 1949, the cap production could be resumed for the population. From 1959 the company existed as a limited partnership with state participation. In 1972, the company was nationalized. During this time approximately 116 workers were employed. After the fall of the plant continued to produce until 1995, since then, the building was empty and abandoned to decay.
