    View of the clay pit, raw material for brick production

      This is where the famous “clay bricks” come from.

        "The Zeller clay pit has been family-owned for almost 200 years. Bricks have been made from clay for over 150 years. The climatic history of thousands of years is revealed on the walls of the pit. At that time, Germany lay under a centimeter-thick layer of ash. The Alzenauer pit is the only place outside of the Eifel where these layers could be detected."
