There is evidence that wood carbonization has been practiced in the Sauerland since around 800 AD and served as a fuel for iron smelting. The rich iron ore deposits and the dense forests of the Sauerland and Siegerland regions provided ideal location factors for this.

The charring of wood has been verifiable in the Sauerland since about 800 AD and served as a fuel supplier for iron smelting. The rich iron ore deposits and the dense forests of the Sauerland and Siegerland offered ideal location factors for this.
