 Karl Gottlieb Wobst founded the traditional haulage business in the year 1850..
 Karl Gottlieb Wobst enthusiastically joined the small elite group of courageous hauliers who transported black powder to the stone quarries in Meissen, to the mines in the Erzberg Mountains and as far as industries in Upper Silesia.
Then at the start of the 1880ies the trend towards transporting explosives via rail began and Karl Gottlieb Wobst, whose work had made him a prosperous but sickly man, was forced to diversify and adapt his haulage business. He made his company over jointly to his wife, Christiane Johanna, and his two eldest sons, Hermann and Gustav. When Karl Gottlieb Wobst died in 1884, the youngest son, Moritz, joined the company to support Christiane Johanna.
