State kiln Saxony-Anhalt
The Landesdarre Sachsen-Anhalt in Annaburg is the only state-owned pine seed kiln in Saxony-Anhalt and probably the oldest preserved in Germany. It was built in the years 1897–1905. The drying shed and kiln building are still largely in their original condition.
history
In 1897, under the direction of the then royal agricultural inspector Kuno von Pentz and the royal forest master Georg Karl Hugo Stubenrauch, construction of the kiln began in Annaburg. A central location of the place in the then administrative district of Merseburg , extensive forests of the Annaburg Heath and good accessibility, also through the Annaburg - Prettin railway line, which was still under construction at the time, influenced the choice of the location. The Prussian fiscal Darren could no longer supply the required amount of seeds. The Klenge was designed to hold up to 200 tons of pine cones per year, which corresponds to about 3 tons of pure seeds. After its completion and a test run in 1903, it was declared one of the main kilns in Germany due to its high performance. The first kiln leader was the forest scientist Friedrich Haack. The catchment area of the kiln at that time stretched from Opole via Breslau to Lüneburg and Schleswig-Holstein . Pine cones were also picked up for clinging from central and southern Germany.
Others
Today the Landesdarre Sachsen-Anhalt is one of eight state forest seed kilns in Germany. It is listed as a cultural monument in the country's monument register.
