Large department store chains such as Kaufhof added the Eyland pipes to their range, Elisabeth Lanius managed shipping within Germany and beyond. But fate was not kind to the small business. On the night of January 8, 1970, the factory exploded into a major fire. Icy roads, frozen hydrants and a strong south-east wind made it difficult to extinguish the fire. The damage amounted to 120,000 marks. That put the final nail in the coffin of this small company. | Large department store chains such as Kaufhof added the Eyland pipes to their range, Elisabeth Lanius managed shipping within Germany and beyond.
