Bilstermühler Straße limekiln

The Bilstermühler Straße lime kiln south of Krauthausen was built around the end of the 19th century as a free-standing shaft kiln made of quarry stone masonry on a square base. It has two draw tunnels for removing the lime and achieved a daily output of around 30 tons. At some point the stonework was reinforced by concrete banding. The kiln became disused in the 1950s and in 1987 was restored by the RWTH Geological Institute. It is subject to a preservation order.
