Nordwolle

Nordwolle Rügen, founded in 2013, is a company dedicated to producing high-quality outdoor clothing and bedding made from the wool of endangered German land sheep breeds. The founder, Marco Scheel, was fascinated by agriculture and the sheep on his home island of Rügen and saw the need to utilize and appreciate the neglected sheep wool of these animals[5].

The company produces a variety of products, including padded jackets, felt jackets, sweaters, bedding, and felted wool. These products are made exclusively from the wool of endangered land sheep breeds such as the Grey Wool Pommeranian Land Sheep. The use of these natural resources not only secures biodiversity but also provides high-quality and healthy textiles[3][4].

The mission of Nordwolle Rügen is to preserve traditional land sheep breeds and counteract the monoculture of the German livestock landscape. The company focuses on regional value creation and the promotion of artisanal traditions. The values of Nordwolle Rügen include sustainability, transparency, and appreciation of natural resources. By using local raw materials and avoiding imports from New Zealand, the ecological footprint is minimized[3][5].

Nordwolle Rügen is strongly committed to sustainable practices. The company does not use plastic, mineral oils, or synthetic fabrics in its products. The sheep wool from the land sheep is left in its natural color diversity, as dyeing is often not possible or sensible. This approach supports biodiversity and landscape maintenance, as the old land sheep thrive without South American feed and make an important contribution to ecosystem care[3][4].

The production of Nordwolle Rügen combines traditional processing methods with state-of-the-art manufacturing techniques. In the workshop in Wismar, the team develops innovative solutions to optimally utilize high-tech fibers from nature. The use of CNC machines ensures precise and efficient production, while the artisanal care and attention to detail of the products are guaranteed[4][5].

The company fosters a family atmosphere and a community of friends connected by a shared passion for sustainability and artisanal traditions. Nordwolle Rügen is also engaged in the local community and promotes regional value creation to strengthen the economic and social structure of the region[4].

With its unique combination of traditional raw materials, modern technology, and a strong focus on sustainability and regional value creation, Nordwolle Rügen has established a successful and future-oriented position in the market for sustainable outdoor clothing and bedding.
