The chimney is still rises above the landscape with proud since 1881. Clay was won out of the river, Hand-kneaded and was put in a form befor baked in the oven (with 50.000 other stones in once). Cooling down the stones, took a while.

This stonefactory closes his doors at 1975, the oven is closed (sort of 😉 ) and what remains are some relics from that time.
