Founded in Chemnitz, the sole large Chemical works in that city, in 1881 as H. Th. Boehme, the main factory was built at Chemnitz-Kappel. A sister factory was founded here in Mohsdorf in 1930. Later, amalgamation with the Henkel business of Duesseldorf, it became known as Boehme Fettchemie GmbH. After the war it was known as VEB FEWA Fettchemie Karl-Marx-Stadt until 1991 when the final closure came due to changed economic circumstances. Soaps, washing up liquid, and textile treatments were produced here. FEWA was a revolutionary synthetic detergent invented in Chemnitz by Boehme. The werkbahn or sidings of the factory can be seen branching off in the left foreground. The Benzene rings and F motif on the factory building may be seen more closely here on the firm's stationery.... <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/sludgeulper/3036252114/">www.flickr.com/photos/sludgeulper/3036252114/</a>
