Carlshütte, Industrial heritage site in Dautphetal, Germany.
The Carlshütte industrial complex spans 23 hectares along a railway line, featuring remnants of iron production facilities and manufacturing buildings.
Friedrich Carl Klein established Carlshütte between 1844 and 1845 after discovering iron ore deposits, making it the last ironworks in the upper Lahntal region.
The site includes the Villa Hohenfels, built around 1925, which represents the architectural and social standing of industrial leaders in the early 20th century.
The former industrial area now houses small businesses and maintains structures that showcase the evolution of manufacturing processes from the 19th century.
The facility transformed from producing pig iron to manufacturing Zeus-branded stoves, reaching a monthly production capacity of 50,000 kilograms of cast goods.
