The multi-part classical quarry stone building has a gable roof and is illuminated by small, six-fold coupled arched windows.

Building history

The building was believed to have been erected in the 1820s. How long bricks were formed and burned there is not known. Around 1930 the system, which was already being used elsewhere at the time, was acquired by Adolf Wolfert from Dirmstein , whose descendants it still belongs to today.

The brick hut, now used as a shed, is in a very bad state of preservation and apparently suffers from structural defects. After the chimney of the kiln had collapsed earlier , the roof collapsed in March 2010. In the course of 2010, the owners called on the monument authorities and the public to provide assistance.
