to 1951, Linde rebuilt the oxygen factories in Nuremberg, Düsseldorf-Reisholz and Hamburg-Wilhelmsburg. In 1950 the company built a new oxygen factory in the Britz area of Berlin (American sector). After extensive reconstruction efforts, Department C (Maschinenfabrik Sürth) was hardly able to “meet the strong demand for small refrigeration machines and refrigerators” (annual report of June 20, 1948). The economic miracle was thus slowly beginning on the consumer side as well. Unprofitable large refrigeration equipment production The large refrigeration equipment sector, by contrast, never really got going in the 1950s. While the foreign market was booming – in 1954 foreign sales were nearly 75 percent of the total – domestic sales were already below the expectations of Linde’s Executive Board in 1951. Milk bar outfitted with Linde refrigeration equipment in the Bundeshaus Restaurant in Bonn (approx. 1950). Sir Edmund Hillary becomes the first to climb Mount Everest (8,882 m). N o 1312 Process for the purification of gases by means of intense cooling and washing. 1953 1954 Germany wins the World Cup Soccer Championship in Bern, Switzerland. In view of this unsatisfactory situation, the Executive Board decided to move large refrigeration equipment from Wiesbaden to Sürth near Cologne and merge it with small industrial refrigeration. Among other things, this would reduce the outside production of refrigeration compressors and units in favor of inhouse production. In 1960 the large refrigeration equipment department finally moved to Sürth, and after the merger took on the designation “industrial refrigeration equipment.” Small refrigeration equipment and household refrigerators The small commercial refrigeration equipment and refrigerator sector also faced organizational and technical production problems. The Mainz-Kostheim plant produced and sold household refrigerators and commercial refrigerators and freezers for which the Sürth plant supplied refrigeration machines and equipment. This uneconomical division of labor first led to the
Linde household refrigerator of the 1950s. 1955 The Warsaw Pact is founded under the leadership of the Soviet Union. 51
