    The Hercules crane was built in 1897.
    Initially it was operated by human power and in 1906 it was switched to electric operation.
    It has a lifting capacity of 30,000 kilograms.
    He played an important role in 1924. Because the “big pitter”, the Petersglocke (24 tons), was unloaded by him.
