All bridges in Saxony and Thuringia based on the construction principle of the suspension belt carrier were built using wool. Rudolf Wolle had a patent for pentagonal reinforced concrete piles for the foundation of buildings, which reached down to the load-bearing layer. These were carried out on the construction site and rammed after four weeks . In connection with this, 1 m high iron-reinforced concrete was placed on the piles.
