Description of the Halle saltworks

Representation of the salt works (in: Johann Christoph von Dreyhaupt, Description of the Saalkreis , 1750)

In his function as salt count, Friedrich Hondorff wrote a description of the Halle saltworks in 1670 under the title The Saltz-Werck zu Halle in Saxony . The work contains both a description of the salt springs and the salt production, as well as a description of the ownership structure, the various offices and professions of the salt works as well as legal regulations. The presentation is completed by income statements, lists of officials and an extensive appendix. The appendix contains documents related to the salt springs.

The lawyer and historian Johann Christoph von Dreyhaupt (1699–1768) decided 78 years after the book's publication to add Hohndorff's remarks “because of rarity” in an updated and expanded form to the second volume of his work Description of the Saalkreis (1749/50).
