Sondernheim Brickworks

Highlight • Historical Site

In 1834 the brick factory was founded by the Stubenrauch brothers. The brickworks had been in the family for over 160 years. Until 1898, hand-brushed bricks were manufactured here. For this purpose, the clay required for this was extracted from the Willig, today a nature reserve near Germersheim, until around 1920, and was later delivered by ship from Rußheim in Baden. In the early years ox carts, later donkeys, and a steam locomotive were used as a means of transport for the clay.
The first bricks were burned in field furnaces and in the 20th century, after switching to machine production, they were burned in a round furnace. The first round-burning furnace was still braced with wood and was expanded in the 1960s using the same conventional basic design, but with steel tensioning girders.
In 1976, the Stubenrauch brickworks came to an end, making it the longest-running brickworks in the whole area.
Since 2000, the brickworks has been privately owned again and is being renovated in accordance with historical monuments, including the existing light rail system. The brickwork museum is looked after with great commitment by the brickwork museum association.

The railway bridge is part of the Bruhrainbahn. The original bridge was inaugurated in 1877 but unfortunately blown up on March 24, 1945 when the Allied Forces approached. Today's bridge was completed in 1967 and put back into operation.

July 28, 2023,Germersheim am Rhein, Festung Fronte Lamotte und Beckers☁️🌨☂️🙂
The tour took us across the Rhine to the southern Palatinate fortress and garrison town of Germersheim. As soon as we arrived, the red football sticker showed that we were in FCK country. Due to its special location on the Rhine, the city has had an eventful history and has always been fought over. The city suffered greatly during the …

Hiked along the Rhine today, Germersheim quarry lake. The place itself is really worth seeing. I preferred the flat land, as many forest paths are muddy and slippery after all the rain. I'm looking forward to my rocks in the Palatinate Forest again

Beautiful tour that you can extend in the park with the fortress. Then across fields to the Rhine. There are two restaurants on the bank where you can stop for a break. But be careful, when the water is high the path directly along the Rhine is flooded and you have to use the path along the dam. Also beautiful, …

A tour through my mistress's old hometown.
First along the banks of the Rhine to the south, then back via the fortress and the city center.
