Dynamit Nobel, Chemical manufacturing plant in Geesthacht, Germany.
The extensive industrial complex features multiple production buildings and a narrow-gauge railway system spread across the former explosives manufacturing site.
Alfred Nobel established this facility in 1865, where he developed and manufactured dynamite using a combination of nitroglycerin and diatomaceous earth.
The facility transformed Geesthacht from a small village of 1,450 inhabitants into an industrial center that attracted workers from surrounding regions.
The Förderkreis Industriemuseum Geesthacht currently organizes guided tours of the preserved buildings, including the 1913 administration building with its Art Nouveau façade.
The location near Hamburg's port and the sandy terrain of Geesthacht made this site particularly suitable for handling explosive materials.
