    "The charcoal required for ore smelting was either produced on site in the forest or centrally on large coaling sites with many kilns operated at the same time, as here in front of the Dietrichstal. Hardwood (mostly beech) was preferred, which produced hard charcoal with a higher calorific value. Since the 18th At the beginning of the 19th century, there were around 60 independent master charcoal burners in Lauterberg, each of whom produced 500 - 600 carts of 2.5 m³ coal per season . From 1802 - 1836 the Oder was used for log rafting when there was a lot of water. The wood was collected here on a large rake. Heavy floods led to the destruction of the system several times, which was finally stopped for cost reasons."
