History

On 1.12.1887 the studied bank Merchant Johannes Hakenmüller founded within an old farm- and dwelling-house just in the centre of Tailfingen tue 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 developped circular-knitting-chair. Because on the agriculture areal there was a source, Hakenmüller constructed till 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 architekt Carl Ammann from Balingen designed him in tue 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 3 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 enterpriser 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 tue same year also started the from him wich some Otter burgomasters and manufacturers together initiated ´Talgangbahn`, a railway between Ebingen and Onstmettingen: a further on indispensable facilitation, to transport with great waggons enough heating (coal-)- but also raw-material (for example the fine macro-cotton from Egypt) from all and to deliver the textile products all the world. The letter-head of J.Hakenmüller from this time is the first one, who in tue Background is decorated with the employed steam-boiled locomotive (model Borsig 5009).

When the founder of the firm died in 1916, his second old son Paul still stayed as town-commander in Reims in France while the first world-war. 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 developped 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 son 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 a 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.

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 architekt Johann Miller and terminated in the years from 1930 to 1937, at last under the management of the Czech Architekt and Miller-Assistent 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 weites Ingrid Helber in her promotion at the university of Tübingen ´Studies to the industrial architecture in Albstadt` from 1999. The clock-tower, which showed far off visible to all sides over the valley of the Schmiecha the time besame a Symbol for the so called German Trikotstadt. 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 mainstreet, 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”. 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-namens later were Hajota (for Hakenmüller Johannes Tailfingen), Hastrino (Hakenmüller 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 transfered 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 leasure- 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 developped a mecanical art of knitting, at which periodically the file was picked. Hereby this stuff proved good very elastic like tensionable and for leasure-wear all above breathing-active. Because of the production of tenthousands of training-suits with stripe-patterns, mostly for the Federal German defense army (Bundeswehr), there rose up a conflict wich ´adidas`. Hasana made the agreement, only to sew up bonds with clearly perceptible two stripes long the training-jackets and trousers.

Hasana J. Hakenmüller maintained till 1970 still seven branchworks, which locations reached over an area from Horb at the river of Neckar to Krauchenwies near Sigmaringen. 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. Than he choosed as main-location for his firm-headquarter Weilheim, where tue since forty years existent branch-work offered the geratest and productive number of seamstresses. On free field in tue mostly agricultural stamped village Rolfdieter Hakenmüller, now as single schief of the enterprise, made building by tue Architekt Schaper from Reutlingen a completely plain-leveled production- and administrationhall wich greatspace-Office. Now circulated the only for baby- and children-fashions produced textiles on one Flor from the weaving-mill- and knitting-Department to the dispatch. To that, like already also in Tailfingen with eight, there in tue lower-town of Hechingen come 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 geratest Clints 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 tue ´Neue Warenhaus AG (Basel), Jelmoli and Migros (Zürich) and Coop. About ten repräsentatives, among these also with jewish Religion, distributed oder whole Germany, the Switzerland and the countries of the Benelux, presented beyond other acitivities 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 Fritz Genkinger 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 tue official mascot ´Goaliath` of tue Football European Championship in England and projected from 1995 teil 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. 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 brandname occurred without social diceases in decembre 2000. In that year was finished too the charged in firm-song on the melody of Harold Faltermeyers song ´The Challenge` (1995).
