Kalktrichterofen

The Kalktrichterofen features a funnel-shaped design that facilitated the efficient processing of limestone into quicklime through controlled heating methods and gravity flow.

During the industrial expansion of North Rhine-Westphalia in the mid-1900s, this lime kiln contributed to the production of construction materials for regional development.

The preservation of this industrial structure represents the transformation of North Rhine-Westphalia from a coal and steel center to a region celebrating its manufacturing heritage.

Visitors can access the site throughout the year to examine the technical aspects of historical lime production and industrial architecture in the Wuppertal area.

The structure maintains its original industrial equipment, including the internal mechanisms that controlled the temperature and material flow during lime production operations.
