Some of the drill houses were built in 1828. The 18.7m high drilling tower on rails dates from 1905. It can access all six drilling houses. The drilling rig was equipped with two engines. The drilling rig saved a lot of time and manpower.

To the south of the saline garden is the Hohenstadter Grund with several pump houses for brine extraction, a memorial for the fallen saline workers 1914-1918, a historic mobile derrick and a treadmill (so-called saline cow) from the beginnings of brine extraction.

Historic drilling tower near the salt park. Before it was driven on the rails by machines, it was moved by people to the different pump houses.
