Tabaks fabriek F. lieftinck Groningen
The tobacco industry, often linked to other "stimulants" such as coffee and tea, was a thriving branch of activity in the city of Groningen in the 19th century. An example of such a company is the warehouse and former tobacco factory De Nijverheid, situated in an inner area 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 weapon of Drenthe". For the realization of this building, Lieftinck also already had a tobacco factory on Raamstraat near Herepoort. In 1932, Firma Lieftinck was taken over by competitor Theodorus Niemeijer.
