About the owner of the paper mill (source: wikipedia):

Albrecht Ludwig Keferstein (* 10. April 1792 in Cröllwitz; † 26 December 1872 in Halle (Saale)) was a German entrepreneur. He is one of the pioneers of the industrial revolution in Halle (Saale).

Life: He was the son of Philipp Sebastian Ludwig Keferstein (1754–1834), a papermaker and paper merchant, and his wife (married 14. October 1790), the daughter of Rahel Charlotte (1765-1845) of the paper manufacturer Gabriel Christoph Drewsen in Lachendorf near Celle. In addition to his brother Leberecht Adolf Orlando Keferstein, he had four siblings. His parents' house was destroyed in 1799 when the Saale flooded.

During the time of the Kingdom of Westphalia he learned his father's trade and then took an active part in the wars of liberation, where he rose to become an officer in a Silesian infantry regiment. In 1820 he resigned from military service and took over his father's paper mill in Cröllwitz, where he employed 67 people. However, it burned down in 1823. The following year he oversaw the rebuilding and expanded the mill considerably by 1846. During this time he founded the company Keferstein & Germar, which he changed to Keferstein & Sohn in 1848. The most important bookshops and printers in Halle, Leipzig and Magdeburg obtained the paper from Cröllwitz.

As Keferstein on the 7th April 1857 celebrated his fiftieth anniversary as a papermaker, he was awarded the title of councilor of commerce by the king. He was also a member of the Prussian House of Lords and City Council in Halle (1856–1860). In 1825 he was admitted to the Masonic Lodge Zu den Drei Degen.
