Hemp belongs to the mankind's oldest and most diverse culture-plants. He/it was over six millennia an economically important supplier for fibers, food and medicine. Hemp was grown in almost all European and Asian countries and represented an important one, partially the most important raw material-source for the manufacture of ropes, canvas, clothing-textiles, paper and oil-products. The historical meaning of the raw material hemp is founded above all on the utilization of the fiber as technical textile. Here, hemp repeated history written.

In China became, for example 2.800 v. Chr. the first ropes of the world of hemp-fibers turned and approximately 100 v. Chr. the first paper of the world of hemp-fibers scooped. There are even hints that already in China in the 28. Jahrh. v. Chr. Clothes were manufactured out of hemp-fibers. The eldest gotten hemp-textile becomes on about. 1.000 v. Chr. date. In the 17. century, to the weddings of the sail-shipping, the hemp experienced his/its prime in Europe. Almost all ship-sails and almost all tackle, ropes, nets, flags until to the uniforms of the sailors were produced tears and wet-solidity on the basis of he/it out of hemp. Each ship required for his/its reason-provisions of every two years 50 until 100 t hemp-fibers. Until in the 18. Jahrh. if hemp-fibers were the raw materials of the European textile-industry together with flax, nettle and wool. From the discords (rags), cellulose was produced for the paper-production.

The decline of this of German and European hemp-economy began in the 18. Jahrh. and sat as far as at the end of this 20. Jahrh. away, where hemp became almost insignificant - only in the last years grew again strongly the interest in hemp. Causes of the decline: Through the mechanization of the cotton-mill, the cotton started her/its/their triumphal march around the world. The strong decline of the sail-shipping met the hemp-economy additionally. After middle of this 19. Jahrh. the manufacture of cellulose had been made up out of wood that hemp lost also his/its meaning for the paper-industry. Finally, the European hemp-fibers turned out for jute, sisal, Abaca and hemp from Russia under pressure through the import-fibers; in the 20. Jahrh. synthetic fibers then conquered the technical use-areas.

Simultaneously, the usefulness-hemp got because of the marijuana-prohibition under pressure: The hemp-cultivation, independent from it, became in many countries of the earth, whether it itself about usefulness, or drug-hemp acted - prohibited and partially is it until today. Only in the 90er years, the cultivation-prohibitions became lifted in many countries for usefulness-hemp and new application-fields visible, where hemp-fibers for technical, ecological and economic reasons can conquer new markets. Also the hempseeds were rediscovered in the 90er years and were developed new products like skinned hempseeds.
