In 1834 the brick factory was founded by the Stubenrauch brothers. The brickworks had been in the family for over 160 years. Until 1898, hand-brushed bricks were manufactured here. For this purpose, the clay required for this was extracted from the Willig, today a nature reserve near Germersheim, until around 1920, and was later delivered by ship from Rußheim in Baden. In the early years ox carts, later donkeys, and a steam locomotive were used as a means of transport for the clay.
The first bricks were burned in field furnaces and in the 20th century, after switching to machine production, they were burned in a round furnace. The first round-burning furnace was still braced with wood and was expanded in the 1960s using the same conventional basic design, but with steel tensioning girders.
In 1976, the Stubenrauch brickworks came to an end, making it the longest-running brickworks in the whole area.
Since 2000, the brickworks has been privately owned again and is being renovated in accordance with historical monuments, including the existing light rail system. The brickwork museum is looked after with great commitment by the brickwork museum association.

Nice opportunity for a break, cold drinks and smaller dining options with a view of the Rhine.

Next to the Ziegelei rest house (which is very nice), there is a cafe and the brick factory: an old industrial monument with a museum right on the Rhine, which is open from time to time (Saturday and Sunday on request).
