Plants for foundry coke

  • Fürstenhausen coking plant, Völklingen (demolished except for the gasometer and a radiator skeleton)

generated. Both plants were shut down in 1999 as a result of the German steel industry's failure to extend the smelter contract . Previously, foundry coke was also produced on the following plants:

Systems for lignite coke

According to the survey on the production of lignite coke by the Statistics of the Coal Industry eV, lignite coke was previously also produced in the Hesse, Helmstedt, Lausitz and Central Germany districts. As part of the self-sufficiency efforts in the GDR, a process for the production of metallurgical high-temperature lignite coke (BHT coke) was developed and implemented in two plants:

  • Large coking plant VEB brown coal refinement Lauchhammer, Lauchhammer (production June 14, 1952 - October 30, 1991, except for the bio towers demolished)
  • Coking plant in VEB Gas Combine Black Pump , Black Pump (production 09/1969 - March 25, 1992)

Other coking plants

  • Hamburg
    • Grasbrook coking plant (1846–1976, demolished)
    • Kattwyk coking plant (1960–1982, demolished), designed by Gerhart Laage
