Geocache Description:

Part one out of four of the Wendel’s series


The Story


In the late 1700th Bruno Wendel, Carl Johan and Eduard Boye bought Mölnlycke messuage and factory. None of the previous owner's heirs of Råda Säteris freehold property were interested, so the three partners repaired the factories and bought new machines to the newly created Mölnlycke Manufakturaktiebolag.

The few citizens of the Råda district was not enough to supply the factory with workers. The need for workers from other localities grew. Wendel found skilled workers in Borås and in the areas of Viskan. The result - entire families came wandering from the Sjuhärad district to Mölnlycke to work for Wendel.

In some years time Bruno Wendel would become one of Sweden's wealthiest individuals.
