Here you see the restored Ludowici ball house, The ball house is made of metal (diameter 4,50m) and intended as emergency accommodation, which can be transported by truck, boat or helicopter to any desired location. Invented by Johann Wilhelm Ludowici (1896 - 1983) in the 1950s The idea caused a sensation around the world but was never produced in series. One copy was restored by the Förderverein Ziegeleimuseum in 2002. (Source: Rhein-Neckar-Industriekultur e.V.)

The spherical house of the Palatinate industrialist and inventor Johann Wilhelm Ludowici was designed for emergency use, among other things. I found detailed information on this here: rottenplaces.de/main/die-kugelhaeuser-des-johann-wilhelm-ludowici-28024

At a nearby gravel pit there is another ball house. There made of concrete: komoot.de/highlight/2507459

You can find information on this and other inventions by Johann Wilhelm Ludowici in the brickworks museum nearby.
