The vanillin plant Holzminden was not very successful before Karl Ludwig Reimer discovered the Reimer-Tiemann reaction which opened an alternative synthesis route to vanillin.

In 1874 Wilhelm Haarmann and Tiemann started a company, after they discovered the synthesis of vanillin from coniferyl alcohol.

Johann Karl Wilhelm Ferdinand Tiemann (June 10, 1848 – November 14, 1899) was a German chemist and together with Reimer discoverer of the Reimer-Tiemann reaction.
