Information Provided by Michael D. Bulmash:

The Hohenlohe Works had been owned by the Petshcek brothers who were Jewish and the company was thus aryanized. All of the assets of this Jewish-owned company were "sequestered" or, in other words, confiscated, in June, 1939, which explains the over-stamp stating that the acting administrator of the ore mining and ironworks is the Hermann Goering Works.
