View of Federaun with the scrap tower by Markus Pernhart (1863)

The scrap tower Federaun was a scrap tower in today's Villach district of Federaun .

The scrap tower was built in 1824 by a company Moritsch, whereby the natural conditions were exploited by building the tower in the form of an oriel on a rocky eruption of the Dobratsch south face (grass ducts). In 1870 it was bought by the Bleiberger Bergwerks Union , which modernized the facility by installing a new sorting system and employed five people there in 1875. In 1887 it was shut down.

Today only remains of walls are visible at the head and foot of the rock face, which are listed ( list entry ).

There are contemporary views by Markus Pernhart (1863) and Josef Willroider (1879).
