    Old lime kiln in very good condition or in the process of being renovated. A small bench and an interesting information board invite you to linger.

      The well-preserved lime kiln is located directly below the Maxen natural stage. Very impressive what kind of buildings were built during the industrialization.

        Limestone and marble quarrying and lime burning formed an important source of financial income for the Maxen manor and the local population over a period of around 600 years - until 1886. In the past 30 years, several limestone quarries were filled with rubbish and debris.
        On the Winterleithe near Maxen and also next to the former electoral marble quarry in Maxen, there is still an old lime kiln today.

            A very well preserved or restored old Rumfort kiln for lime burning, on which the entrance to the Marienschacht is also located.

              Very nicely preserved or restored with a nice explanation of the Rumfort furnace for lime burning and the entrance to the Marienschacht

                Maxen - Lime Kiln at Winterleite.

                Information:

                Historic lime kiln, a Rumford kiln from 1838, used for lime burning. The kiln facade is decorated with the inscription "Marienschacht 1838" (last renovated in 2021). In the Rumford kiln, lime and fuel are added separately. The result is a higher-quality, pure quicklime.
