Lineol Aktiengesellschaft was founded in 1906 by Oskar Wilhelm Wiederholz in Brandenburg an der Havel. As early as 1903, he developed the necessary mass, which, in contrast to the mass of the competitor Elastolin, also contains linseed oil and tree resin.

Partly responsible for Lineol's success was the Berlin artist Albert Caasmann, who had been designing the patterns for the wax figures since 1909. He became head modeller under Wiederholz in 1919 and was also head of figure production until 1952. In the 1930s, LINEOL AG employed 300 to 400 people.
