Road Name History: The factory in Bomlitz (based in Walsrode), which operated as Wolff & Co. for almost a century, had emerged from a powder factory founded in 1815 and was one of the oldest and largest chemical sites in Lower Saxony. Wolff Walsrode AG was most recently a holding company in the Bayer group. It included companies in the chemical industry, the packaging industry and production-related services.

Several independent companies and parts of companies emerged from the plant, which characterize today's Walsrode Industrial Park in Bomlitz. A significant part has been a business unit of the Dow Chemical Company since 2007 under the name Dow Wolff Cellulosics GmbH. Another essential part has been merged into the Wihuri Packaging Group and this is the largest location of the Wipak Group.From Wikipedia
