Brikettfabrik Louise

Brikettfabrik Louise is an industrial monument in Domsdorf with seven preserved briquette presses of different types and extensive equipment for lignite processing. The facility also displays drying installations and other machinery for coal handling.

The factory began briquette production in 1882 and operated continuously for more than a century. It was shut down in 1992 and now stands as a preserved record of the industrial era.

The factory shows the lives of coal workers through its machinery and displays that document daily work in this industry. Visitors can understand how important this labor was for the region.

The site is best explored during opening hours, which are held on selected days. Guided tours help visitors understand the complex machinery and how it operates.

What makes this factory special is that many of the original steam machines still function today and demonstrate the briquette-making process. Visitors can actually watch how the old machinery transforms coal into solid briquettes.
