Brine hoist
A brine hoist is a water motor that was used to overcome differences in height in a brine pipe.
Simon Reiffenstuel developed the first sole hoisting machine . This was used for the brine pipeline from Bad Reichenhall to Traunstein , which he built together with his father Hanns between 1617 and 1619. The pumps overcame a height difference of 340 meters in seven wells.
The saltworks and mountain ridge Georg Friedrich von Reichenbach developed a form of the water column machine as a brine lifting machine. This machine was used from 1810 on the Reichenhall - Traunstein - Rosenheim brine pipeline in the Siegsdorf, Nagling, Klaushäusl, Bergham and Mühlthal Brunn houses. The lifting machine in Klaushäusl was the last to be shut down in 1958. It is still in the former fountain house, which is now the Klaushäusl technical museum .
