At the end of the 18th century, an iron foundry was founded, which mainly supplied local businesses.
Unfortunately, the global economic crisis brought a temporary out of the foundry at the end of the 20s.
Shortly after the Second World War in 1948, ***** took over the company and rebuilt it.

The foundry went into operation under the name "VEB ******" and mainly manufactured products for heavy industry as well as for mining and metallurgy, especially for bismuth. However, engine blocks, gearboxes for commercial vehicles, pumps and fittings, electric motor housings and machine tools were also produced.
The GDR was able to acquire the VEB back in the early 1970s and renamed it XXXXX and produced cast parts for trucks and agricultural machines.
The foundry made a further boom when they got an electric smelter in 1986.
But this company was not spared from the turnaround and production collapsed by more than 80 percent, which resulted in mass layoffs.

++++++++ bought the plant and moved its company headquarters to ****** and was able to work under the name "*********" until 1996 with 84, of former 350, employees to produce.
Then all the ovens were turned off.
Part of the area was demolished and a hardware store was relaxed there.

The buildings have suffered a lot over the years and can no longer be used.
The 39,000 square meter site is for sale today.
