"The Hundisburg brickworks is an important technical monument and a living place of history. Since 1991, the commitment of the association has made a significant contribution to preserving this cultural heritage and bringing it to life," emphasised District Administrator Stichnoth at the handover.
The association is committed to the preservation and further development of the historic brickworks in a variety of ways. In particular, it focuses on actively supporting conservation work as well as researching and documenting the history of the brickworks and the tradition of ceramic firing.
In addition, the brickworks is operated as a historical display facility and provides visitors with authentic insights into traditional manufacturing processes. A particular focus is on the production of brick products and binding agents using traditional techniques, allowing historical knowledge to be imparted and preserved in a practical way.
With workshop days and weeks, the association also offers a wide range of educational programmes for interested citizens as well as for children and youth groups. This commitment is complemented by socio-cultural events that strengthen the brickworks as a meeting place for the public.
"The funding is an important investment in the preservation of our cultural heritage and in local educational work. It also supports the voluntary commitment behind this project," Stichnoth concludes.
