14 N o 0023 Device for the production of block ice. In 1892 the Gesellschaft für Linde’s Eismaschinen opened a large plant for chilling food and producing ice in Hamburg. When the warm winter of 1883/84 failed to yield a sufficient supply of natural ice, the last reservations as far as the reliability of artificial refrigeration were removed. And so a “veritable torrent” (Linde) of orders broke over the Linde Company and the machinery builders working with it. Happily, Carl von Linde had had sufficient ice machines in standard sizes produced for stock so that the demand could be met quickly with reliable quality. By the end of the 1880s, the “Gesellschaft für Linde’s Eismaschinen” had equipped 445 breweries with 747 refrigeration machines. With year-round refrigeration ensured, the breweries could now brew bottom-fermented beer in summer as well as winter and thus considerably increase their profitability. Ice factories under own control During the first several months after the official founding of the company when no refrigeration machine orders were coming in, von Linde felt forced to build ice factories at his own expense. 1885 Pastor Friedrich von Bodelschwingh founds the first building and loan association in Germany. The purpose of these sample plants was to demonstrate their efficiency and cost effectiveness. His first own ice factory was built in Elberfeld-Barmen between two breweries that had agreed to take on greater quantities of the manmade ice. At the same time, financier von Hirsch, who had acquired Linde’s patent rights for France, built an ice factory in Paris. And finally, parallel to this, von Linde designed a smaller ice factory for an exhibition taking place in Düsseldorf in 1880. In addition to Elberfeld-Barmen, the Linde Company had opened other ice factories in Stuttgart, Munich and Strasbourg by 1881. Each one produced up to 50,000 kilograms of ice per day – and at the very competitive price of 70 pfennigs per 100 kilograms. Once the ice plants had proven their profitability, they were sold by 1890 “with considerable surpluses over their book value” (von Linde). It was not until after 1896 that the “Gesellschaft für Linde’s Eismaschinen” – certainly due to the decline in machine sales and as capital investments – again decided to build its own ice factories and cold storage facilities in Nuremberg (1896), Leipzig (1910), Königsberg (1914) and Magdeburg (1937). Cold storage facilities market With the building of city slaughterhouses initiated by new legislation during the last third of the 19th century, the demand for cold storage houses for meat and other food products rose – another driving force for sales of refrigeration machines. The first cold storage facility for meat was built in Bremen in 1882 with von Linde called in as an adviser. One year later von Linde supplied the equipment for the city slaughterhouse in Wiesbaden, solving the complex problem not only of generating refrigeration but at the same time dehumidifying and purifying the air. When, at the beginning of the 1890s, nearly all larger communities in Germany built their slaughterhouses with cold rooms and cold storage houses as a result of changed legislation, this industry quickly became the second largest market for refrigeration systems.
