The lime kilns Walheim / Kornelimünster are a series of historic kilns, which are mainly located in the south of Aachen district Kornelimünster / Walheim. They were used to extract limestone from limestone and were built between 1870 and 1924 and partially supplemented and modernized after the Second World War. However, they had to be shut down as early as the mid-1950s, as structural changes in the lime industry no longer made it profitable to operate smaller individual ovens.
