Rathenower Verblendsteinwerk C. G. Matthes & Sohn, Brick factory in Rathenow, Germany.

The factory complex includes administrative buildings, residential quarters, social facilities, and a gatehouse, all constructed with distinctive red bricks and gabled roofs.

Founded in 1865 as Lisdorff, Matthes et Seeger, the factory gained prominence when Carl Gustav Matthes took control and renamed the area Carlsheim in 1890.

The factory archives contain detailed records of brick markings and catalog numbers, documenting production methods and architectural styles from the industrial period.

The facility manufactured various types of bricks, including masonry bricks, terracotta elements, glazed bricks, and roof tiles for buildings in Berlin, Hamburg, and Stettin.

The Matthes family tomb in Rathenow Municipal Cemetery features glazed bricks and specially shaped stones manufactured at their own factory.
