Attempted reunification: Andernach and the Carlshütte
Turning back the clock and reuniting the Ahlmann companies? Even though the plan for reunification was not publicly negotiated, the cover of "Glück Auf!" from December 1970 seemed like an indirect comment on the plan.
At the turn of 1970/71, Severin Ahlmann approached his sister Marlene Halhuber-Ahlmann to propose that the Andernach plant be reunited with Ahlmann Carlshütte in Rendsburg. Marlene Halhuber-Ahlmann’s first husband, Rudolf-August Oetker – the owner and head of the Bielefeld-based Oetker family business, and an expert in mergers and acquisitions – was called in together with his M&A team as a mediator. However, Severin Ahlmann's economic advisor Arno Seeger advised against it in view of the economic situation at the Carlshütte: merging a healthy company with a "sick company", could cause both to go under.
