Glashütte Klein Süntel

The excavation area contains remnants of a glass manufacturing facility with underground brick channels and ventilation shafts from past industrial operations.

First documented around 1620, this glassworks produced green utility bottles for nearly 250 years until its closure in 1886.

The facility gained recognition when George I ascended the English throne in 1714, connecting the Weserbergland glass region to British industrial practices.

The site underwent several excavation phases between 2012 and 2020, revealing structures that demonstrate historical glass production methods.

Among only seven known remaining glassworks towers globally, this location features a rare flue gas cone foundation discovered in 2011.
