Saline Luisenhall, Salt evaporation pond in Göttingen, Germany
The Saline Luisenhall facility contains large shallow pans where brine from 450 meters underground transforms into crystallized salt through heat-based evaporation techniques.
Established in 1854, the salt production site underwent several ownership changes until Hermann Bartold Levin acquired it in 1881 and developed successful operations.
The facility demonstrates traditional European salt manufacturing methods through its preserved 19th-century timber structures and original technical equipment.
Visitors can purchase natural salt products, including deep salt from natural brine and salt flowers, directly from the on-site shop.
This location stands as Europe's last operational pan salt works, maintaining production methods that date back to medieval salt-making traditions.
