The Widmann'sche Papiermaschinenfabrik im Leintal in Neckargartach was a machine factory founded by Johann Jakob Widmann. Widmann had built the first continental European paper machine during the onset of industrialization and produced it in a workshop in Heilbronn until 1840, when he acquired the site in the Lein Valley and built a new factory there. Remnants of a workshop building are still preserved from the plant, which continued to be used as a paper mill after Widmann's bankruptcy, was converted into a pumping station around 1900 and used as such until the 1960s. In the second half of the 1990s, the complex was renovated and a historic hammer forge was added. Today, the property forms the Neckargartach Historic Industrial Park.
