    Tips

    In 1840, David Löwenfeld, Moritz Friedländer and Simon Löwi founded a glassworks called "Friedenshütte" ("Peace" glassworks).
    The plant established at that time consisted of a blast furnace fired with coke, a casting hall, a boiler room and a carpentry shop.
    In 1851, the steelworks was bought by Count Andrzej Renard. The new owner expanded it with a second blast furnace and a coking plant.
    In 1855 the company became the property of the Silesian Leśno-Górniczo-Hutnicza "Minerwa" from Wrocław. The expansion of the steelworks continued.
    At the end of the 1860s, it had four blast furnaces, coking plants and pudding furnaces.
    The end of the investment coincided with the economic collapse on the steel market, which led the company to bankruptcy in 1871.
    The steelworks and the remaining assets of the company were taken over by a new entity, "Oberschlesiche Eisenbahn-Bedarf-Aktiengesellschaft", founded by Count Karol Wolfgang Ballestrem.
    In 1881, a forge was opened, in 1884 a Thomas steelworks, and three years later an open-hearth steel plant and a plant power plant.
