In 1860, Heinrich Ohrenstein from Timisoara (Romania) leased 20 acres of land from the Beočin Monastery and began producing Roman Cement in his newly established “Centrala” factory. After visiting the 1867 World’s Fair in Paris and working in an English cement factory, Csik mastered a new technology and began producing substantially superior Portland cement (Gaćeša, 2008). Later, the Redlich, Ohrenstein, Spitzer company bought Csik’s factory, and it was registered in Budapest in 1900. One of the shareholders of the Beočin located cement factory, Eduard Spitzer, a wealthy landowner of German origin, erected his villa -- the Castle -- in Beočin in 1898 to live there with his family. He was married to Baron Heinrich Ohrenstein’s [sister], who worked as a teacher of the cement workers’ children in Beočin (Kulić, 2015).
