The Fascination of Steel 1994 - The Last Casting at the Henrichshütte | FILM TREASURES
A 1994 film documents the last major steel casting at the Henrichshütte ironworks in Hattingen. The plant operated from 1854 to 2004. However, towards the end of the 20th century, more and more branches of the factory had to close until, after 150 years, all forge operations finally ceased. Today, the Hattingen ironworks can be visited as a museum, offering a fascinating glimpse into that era. The footage shows what the operations of the former plant were like and how people and machines worked together there.
