Tobacco factory F. Lieftinck Groningen
The tobacco industry, often linked to other 'stimulants' such as coffee and tea, was a flourishing branch of industry in the city of Groningen in the 19th century. An example of such a company is warehouse and former tobacco factory De Nijverheid, situated in a courtyard behind Oosterstraat and built in 1893 to a design by architect J.P. Hazeu.

The client was tobacco manufacturer J. H. Lieftinck. His family came from Drenthe, which explains why his trademark was 'the coat of arms of Drenthe'. Before the realization of this building, Lieftinck also had a tobacco factory on the Raamstraat near the Herepoort. In 1932, the Firma Lieftinck was taken over by competitor Theodorus Niemeijer, after which the company was then called Niemeijer-Lieftinck.
