Sand-Lime Brick Works L.
This abandoned sand-lime brick factory was built in the early 1960s as a branch of a large construction company. At that time, the construction boom of the post-war period and the economic miracle was still going on. An existing large military training camp of the German Armed Forces was being expanded in the region at the time. This also required corresponding living space, so the demand for building materials increased accordingly.
In 1964, a modern sand-lime brick factory with three presses was built in the middle of large sand deposits.
The plant was probably closed in the 2000s. In the 2010s, there were plans to mine the remaining 3 million cubic meters of sand and gravel - a project that failed due to nature conservation concerns.
As a result, the old factory remained a “lost place” and was plagued by vandals and sprayers. Illegal waste disposal was also common here.
In May 2024, the decision was finally made to demolish the buildings after an expert opinion ensured that the ruins had not become a home for bats.
