The salt was temporarily stored in the salt house (capacity 50,000 hundredweight) before being distributed further. In 1823, salt was distributed to 55 communities. After the discovery of the Rhine saltworks in 1836, the salt trade leveled off and was abolished in 1859. (according to information board)
