The oldest briquette factory in Europe from 1882 is saved by an association from decay and even "almost" kept operational - many facilities are still functioning and are turned on during the leadership.
It is astonishing that many parts of the system were fully functional from 1882 to 1991 and were not renewed. Thus, only little electrification and much to the end of steam power over transmissions operated.

"The briquette factory Louise in Domsdorf, a district of the southern Brandenburg city of Uebigau-Wahrenbrück in the Elbe-Elster district, is the oldest briquette factory in Europe and a technical monument." de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brikettfabrik_Louise
