    Reconstructed blast furnace as a testimony to the earlier iron ore processing. If you continue along the path behind the blast furnace, you will also find the former location of the Hammerhütte.

      Between 1410 and 1736, iron ore from the hammer mill pits near Gottleuba/Berggiess was smelted here.

        There is documentary evidence that iron ore from the hammer mill pits in the area was smelted in the blast furnace at Brausenstein between 1410 and 1736. In 1979/80 the ruin, threatened by decay, was rebuilt as a monument to the local production history.
