Altes Brennhaus, Historical porcelain production building in Fürstenberg, Germany.

The Altes Brennhaus features stone walls, multiple floors, and cellar vaults designed specifically for housing porcelain kilns and production facilities.

Built around 1750 under Duke Karl I of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel, this structure contained the first documented porcelain kilns in Central Europe.

Archaeological excavations between 2009 and 2012 revealed intact original kiln structures reaching heights of 1.4 meters, demonstrating early porcelain manufacturing methods.

The building stands 500 meters from Fürstenberg Castle and remains accessible for researchers studying industrial heritage and ceramic production techniques.

The basement area preserves original 18th-century porcelain production facilities, which remained unaltered due to their position within the hillside.
