The industrial site is the so-called Phrix-Werke (cellulose and paper mill). This factory turned the rather rural and small Okriftel into an industrial location with over 1,000 jobs in this plant alone. Founded in 1884/1885, the founders - the Offenheimer family - had to emigrate to the USA during the Third Reich. In 1970, the plant was closed (after being transferred back to the founding family, sold (among others to BASF)). Parts of this complex are listed as historical monuments and have been converted into condominiums, lofts, and shops for several years.
