The Kafka Ribbon Weaving Mill in Wuppertal-Langerfeld, Germany, has produced traditionally made ribbons on lovingly cared-for Jacquard weaving looms since 1898. It almost closed in 1981 but was saved by Frauke Kafka who ran the mill successfully for almost 20 years as a living museum. She designed a unique collection of traditional ribbons in new colors, as well as her own designs, to revive the mill’s fortunes.
In 2010 the Bandweberei Kafka moved into a new spacious, listed building to house the ever-growing collection of ribbons, literature and illustrative materials, ensuring the history, machinery and designs can be preserved for future generations.
