Max Salomon was born on January 8, 1853 in Pollnow/Kreis Schlawe and grew up in Landsberg an der Warthe. On August 9, 1879, the company Max Salomon Getreidehandel Schivelbein was entered in the commercial register. In 1889 at the latest, he took over the Schlossmühle in Schivelbein. The Mühle included a farm, 30 cows, arable horses, chickens, pigs, ducks and geese, vegetable and flower gardens, rye, oat and potato fields.In 1912, Villa Salomon“, the family home with the characteristic figure of Demeter, the Greek goddess of fertility, was built on the Mühlengelände.
Alfred Roth, a radical anti-Semite, published the book Die Juden in den Kriegs-Gesellschaften und in der Kriegs-Wirtschaft“ after the First World War under the pseudonym Otto Armin in which he accused the Salomon company of supplying the enemy with grain during the war. German prisoners of war had had to load oats in Dünkirchen in 1918, on which „Salomon Schivelbein“ had stood. In 1940, even „Der Stürmer“ ran with this story.
Max Salomon died on 04.03.1932 in Schivelbein. His son Kurt Salomon ran the mill from 1913 to 1935. Kurt Salomon and his family fled to Brazil.
