Kalkwerk Flandersbach

Kalkwerk Flandersbach is a lime production facility in Wülfrath with two active quarries, Grube Rohdenhaus and Silberberg, that feed into large-scale processing operations. The site uses multiple kilns to transform raw limestone into finished products for construction and industrial use.

The facility was founded in 1903 and grew through steady modernization to become a major European production center. Continuous investment in equipment and methods has shaped its development over more than a century.

The Kalkwerk represents North Rhine-Westphalia's industrial development, contributing significantly to regional construction and manufacturing sectors throughout its existence.

The facility is located in the Bergisches Land region and is accessible from nearby highways. Those interested in visiting should inquire directly about tour possibilities and access arrangements.

The Kalkbahn, a private railway line, connects this facility directly to steelworks in the Ruhr area for material transport. This dedicated rail connection is a rare example of industrial infrastructure built specifically to serve production needs.
