Alte Schmelz, Industrial heritage complex in Sankt Ingbert, Germany
The Alte Schmelz encompasses industrial buildings, worker settlements, and former parks spread across a substantial area in Sankt Ingbert, Saarland.
Founded in 1733 for iron production, the complex utilized iron ore and charcoal as raw materials, powered by the Rohrbach river through blast furnaces and smithies.
The mechanical workshop from 1907 has transformed into a performance venue, hosting concerts and events in its industrial cathedral with 2,000 square meters of space.
The facility contains three main areas: the Industrial Cathedral, Event House, and Möller Hall, accommodating various gatherings from small ceremonies to large-scale functions.
The workers' settlement within the complex represents the earliest remaining industrial community in Southwest Germany, constructed between 1806 and 1809.
