from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Haardter Hütte was an ironworks in Weidenau near Siegen in Siegerland . The later Weidenau district of Haardt was built around the hut .

The more modern Rolandshütte located in the neighborhood took over the Eiserfelder Grube Gilberg and with it the Haardter Hütte in 1898 . The company now employed 120 people and achieved an annual production of almost 30,000 tons of pig iron . After the Rolandshütte was closed, the Haardter Hütte blast furnace remained in operation until 1929 and produced special pig iron and melted cement . Then the cinder block factory of the Rolandshütte was closed. In 1932 the steel works were demolished.
