    Maybe the history of the Luisenhütte dates back to 1732. The construction of an ironworks by the family of Landsberg, however, is provable only for the year 1748.

    In 1758 the Luisenhütte was taken over by Clemens August von Landsberg. [3]

    Ignaz von Landsberg-Velen and Gemen, who took over the possessions in 1812, devoted himself particularly to the expansion of this huts. In his time also falls in 1835 naming: Ludowika (Luise) of Westerholt-Gysenberg was his wife.

    In 1854, the hut was due to growing competition from the neighboring Ruhr, England and Belgium, and rebuilt.

    The Luisenhütte Wocklum (also Wocklumer Hammer) in the Balver district Wocklum is the oldest blast furnace system in Germany with complete equipment.

    The Luisenhütte has been a technical cultural monument since 1950 and was classified as a monument of national cultural significance in 2003. In the years 2004 to 2006, the Luisenhütte was renovated with a financial cost of about two million euros. The reopening with a new museological concept took place on 1 May 2006 in great public interest.

    a look is now a highlight .... :-(
    The Luisenhütte, on the other hand, definitely is.
