Lassing rake
The lassing rake was a flotsam rake near the village of Fachwerk in the Wildalpen community in the Liezen district in Styria .
description
In the later 17th century, the Innerberg main trade union began felling the Lassingbach and the rafting of wood , and for this purpose a large wooden rake was built above half-timbering. With a length of 250 m, this rake was built as a sack rake parallel to the stream bed. The timber could be cut through a 700 m long water giant. There they built charcoal plants , as a coal plant (charcoal burning at Triftplatz), which resulted in the settlement of half-timbered houses. Initially also intended for ore mining on the Arzberg (a foothill of the Eibl -Hochschlag ridge), but this was soon abandoned, so the charcoal was brought by wagon to the Erzberg in Eisenerz , the historic Innerberg.
In addition, because the rake was also designed as a swell rake, i.e. you could drain water including floating debris into the river, you could flow the wood on to the large rake in Großreifling at the mouth of the Salzam in the Enns to the Großreifling rake .
Of the wood drift systems in the Salza region, the Lassing Rake was in operation the longest, but with the advent of hard coal in the 19th century - including charcoal - it became unprofitable and abandoned.
The computer was finally destroyed during the flood in 1899, remains can still be seen.
