The Maxhütte (MH), named after the Bavarian King Maximilian II Joseph, was a steel mill steeped in tradition and is now an industrial monument in Sulzbach-Rosenberg. During the heyday, the Maxhütte employed over 9,000 people. The Maxhütte was the last steel mill in Bavaria with a conventional blast furnace, and at the same time it was the last company in Bavaria to be subject to mining participation. She was known nationally in the labor movement for the decades-long struggle of the workforce for their jobs. Due to the ownership of the Free State of Bavaria, the Maxhütte was also a political issue. After two bankruptcies, steelmaking was finally stopped on September 24, 2002. The Maxhütte has a high monument value due to its age and because of its partly unique technical equipment.

Stop by before everything is over, because the industrial ruin will be demolished.
