Sayner H\u00fctte<\/h2>\n\n\n\n Not far from the butterfly garden is the Sayner H\u00fctte, a former ironworks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the years 1769-1770, an iron foundry with blast furnaces and a hammer was built in Sayn on behalf of the then Elector of Trier. From 1815 to 1865, the Sayn ironworks was owned by Prussia and developed into one of the most important iron foundries during this period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n\n\n\nIn addition to the smelter building with the blast furnaces, there was also a moulding house, a hammer building with two hammers, a hammer building with hammer and stretching hammer, storage buildings and a residential building. Around 1828, a new casting hall with a blast furnace was built. This is still preserved today and can be visited. After Alfred Krupp took over the Sayner H\u00fctte in 1865, there were initially some extensions to the site, but he shut down the blast furnace as early as 1878. In 1926, operations were finally discontinued. Since 2004, the town of Benzdorf has been the owner of the site and has worked out a new concept for its use together with the Friends of the Sayner Ironworks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A look inside the Sayner H\u00fctte<\/h3>\n\n\n\n The so-called Krupp Hall is the entrance to the Sayner H\u00fctte site. This building was erected around 1908\/1909. It was used for the mechanical processing of iron castings, the production and processing of iron and steel end products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n\n\n\nSince 2017, an exhibition and event hall has been located here. In the entrance area, there is a model of the hut grounds that helps you to find your way around. I really liked the slideshow, which illustrates the various construction phases and the development of the site. An exhibition provides an overview of the Sayner H\u00fctte.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Casting hall<\/h4>\n\n\n\n An architecturally impressive casting hall was built in Sayn from 1828-1830. Prefabricated cast-iron elements were used for the construction and a hall of 24×29 metres was created. This was later extended to over 43 metres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n\n\n\nThe building somewhat resembles the church of a three-aisled basilica, except that it is made of steel and not stone. The central structure is somewhat elevated, there are columns over 6 metres high with Doric capitals and the blast furnace stands in the “apse”. The front end of the hall is characterised by a glass wall divided by iron ribs and pointed arches. A beautiful sight that makes the casting hall a unique building to this day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At the time when iron was still worked here, about 170 workers were employed at the Sayner H\u00fctte. I find it particularly exciting that all the machines at the plant were powered by water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n\n\n\nA media “blast furnace production” is played at regular intervals in the casting hall. This shows the work in the casting hall. Unfortunately, our stay was too short to experience the production. I would have liked to see how the project was realised.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I can recommend a visit to the platform at the blast furnace. A lift or a few steps take you high above the hall and you can admire the impressive roof construction and the size of the hall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n\n\n\nToday, the industrial monument is a museum and event hall. You can find out about current events on the Sayner H\u00fctte<\/a> website. <\/p>\n\n\n\nAddress:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n In d. Sayner H\u00fctte 4 56170 Bendorf<\/p>\n\n\n\n
