    Between 1921 and 1928 the gas machine center of Maxhütte Unterwellenborn (raw and cast iron production and its further processing in the steel and rolling mill), a branch of Maximilianshütte in Sulzbach-Rosenberg. The furnace gas produced in the production of pig iron in the blast furnaces was used to drive 7 large gas machines to generate the blast furnace wind, the compressed air for the Thomas steelworks and electrical energy. The 120-year history of pig iron production in Unterwellenborn ended with the last tapping on July 10, 1992. The successor to Maxhütte is the Thuringia steelworks, which went into operation as an electric steelworks in 1995. The gas engine center is open to visitors.
