    Lime mining is one of the first economically important industries alongside agriculture in our villages. The first beginnings are thought to date back to the 12th century.
    Starting in the 17th century, several landowners from Kaltofen and Berbersdorf appear as owners of lime works and kilns.

      As early as the 12th century, local limestone deposits were mined in Kaltofen, probably also back then in the neighboring communities of Arnsdorf and Berbersdorf, and processed into quicklime. In 1840 ten kilns were in operation in Berbersdorf alone.
      Decaying remains of two ovens can still be seen.

        Next time I'll have more time to look at the old systems.
