In Basel hatte sich seit dem 17. Jahrhundert das Seidenbandgewerbe etabliert und die Produktion von Seidenbändern wurde zu einem ökonomisch wichtigen Faktor in der ganzen Region Oberrhein. Im 19. Jahrhundert ist dann in der Folge davon das Herstellen synthetischer Farbstoffe zu einer Spezialität der Region Basel geworden. Die Farbstoffproduktion hat die wirtschaftliche Entwicklung Basels stark geprägt.
