The “dark giants” are striking appearances in the cityscape. From April to October, cool, slightly salty air blows around the large facilities. When you breathe in near them, you immediately feel a pleasant effect on your respiratory tract. But how do the graduation buildings actually work?
The graduation buildings were once used for salt production. They date from the 18th century, a time when the Nauheimer Saline was one of the most modern salt factories in Europe. The process is the same then as it is today: the salty water (brine) from the spring is pumped right up to the top of the graduation buildings. There it slowly flows down the ten-meter-high walls made of blackthorn bundles. Due to wind and sun, some of the water evaporates and the salt content increases. The fine salty droplets that are created during the evaporation process and are blown away by the wind are then perceived as a fresh sea breeze.
By realizing that the salt crystals are in the air
