In the 19th century, this craft grew into a flourishing industry, partly thanks to the establishment of German textile families such as the Driessens. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For centuries, flax was cultivated in the Achterhoek and the adjacent Westphalia region, from which linen was woven on farms. This cottage industry led to a lively cross-border trade in woven fabrics. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Numerous farm and street names in Aalten still recall this era, for example: <a href=\"https:\/\/oudaalten.nl\/lintelo\/weversborg\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">de Weversborg<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/oudaalten.nl\/aalten\/richterinkstraat-23-pellewever\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">de Pellewever<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/oudaalten.nl\/dale\/elshoekweg-18-20-grote-maat-bleek\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">de Bleeke<\/a>, the Vlasspreideweg, and\u2014due to the pure water\u2014the Zilverbekendijk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-de-komst-van-de-driessens\">The arrival of the Driessens<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Import duties on foreign fabrics were increased in 1823 to protect Dutch industry. German textile companies, including the firms <em>Gebr\u00fcder Driessen<\/em> and <em>Peter Driessen &amp; Sohn<\/em> in Bocholt, moved to the Achterhoek. In 1826, they established themselves in Aalten.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With their arrival in 1826, 56 looms and approximately twenty families from Prussia also came to Aalten. Most of them settled here permanently. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:30%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"453\" height=\"726\" src=\"https:\/\/oudaalten.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Vlas-spinnen.jpg\" alt=\"Spinning flax\" class=\"wp-image-11415\" srcset=\"https:\/\/oudaalten.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Vlas-spinnen.jpg 453w, https:\/\/oudaalten.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Vlas-spinnen-187x300.jpg 187w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 453px) 100vw, 453px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Spinning flax on the spinning wheel<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-groei-van-werkgelegenheid\">Growth of employment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The number of domestic weavers grew steadily. While the number was 292 in 1828, it had risen to 352 a year later, and in 1833 it was reported: <em>&#8216;The fustian factories continued strongly, with the factories in Aalten typically employing approximately 630 weavers according to records. Both in this and in the surrounding municipalities of Winterswijk, Dinxperlo, Varsseveld, Lichtenvoorde, etc.&#8217;<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-de-eerste-fabrieken\">The first factories<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In 1829, there were two cotton mills in Aalten <em>&#8216;which provide work for about 40 people&#8217;<\/em>, including that of the Driessen brothers. In 1830, there were three, with approximately sixty employees. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On August 15, 1829, Jan Gerard Kraak ten Houten, <em>&#8216;licensed shopkeeper and merchant in Aalten&#8217;<\/em>, informed the Governor of Gelderland of his wish to establish <em>&#8216;a fustian factory, spinning mill, dye works, and bleachery&#8217;<\/em> in his hometown, for which he requested permission. The municipal council had no objections to this establishment, <em>&#8216;considering that the petitioner&#8217;s intention is only to have fustian manufactured by weavers at their homes, without erecting a spinning mill, bleachery, or dye works. This ensures sufficient work for the craftsman&#8217;<\/em>, while no other interests are harmed. Ultimately, the King had to decide on the matter. Favorable advice was given by all advisors. It is not known how long this company existed or where it was located.    <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-custom-bronnen-gradient-background has-background is-layout-flow
