Halsbrücker Esse, Industrial chimney in Halsbrücke, Germany.
The Halsbrücker Esse stands 140 meters tall with a lower diameter of 8.25 meters and an upper diameter of 3 meters, constructed entirely of fireproof clay bricks.
Built between 1888 and 1889 by H.R. Heinicke from Chemnitz, this smokestack began operations in April 1890 to process exhaust fumes from local smelting works.
The structure represents a significant period of industrial development in Saxony, demonstrating the advanced engineering capabilities of late 19th century German construction methods.
Visitors can access the chimney through step irons positioned both inside and outside the structure, which is stabilized by iron rings spaced at varying intervals.
The structure contains 4,140 tons of clay bricks, 170 tons of Bohemian lime, 1,030 tons of Elbe river sand, and 60 tons of cement in its construction.
