On the trail of Lusatian bricks and light railways in the "Old Brickworks" Klein Kölzig

The tradition of brick firing in Klein Kölzig goes back far into the 19th century. After the first small private brickworks had been established since 1840, the public limited company Großer Kurfürst Berlin built a brickworks in Klein Kölzig in 1892/94, the centrepiece of which was a ring kiln with 18 firing chambers. In 1920, a light railway was put into operation for the transport of clay, which had a length of 4.5 km. Visitors can expect to see the only brickworks with a completely preserved ring kiln in the region. During the guided tour of the object, insights are given into the production processes marked by heavy manual labour and, among other things, the secret is revealed as to why the building survived the difficult period after production ceased.
