Text of the plaque: During the Ice Age, violent drifts of soil particles occurred over thousands of years. We still sometimes observe sand in the Sahara like this; at that time, thick layers of clay formed, consisting mainly of fine sand. This was deposited in places where the ice cap had melted during warmer periods. In the Achterhoek, this layer of clay can be hundreds of meters thick. The first inhabitants of these areas quickly realized that wood was a versatile building material. Therefore, it was used on a large scale in the construction of the first shelters for people and livestock. In this area, there are still remains of buildings with willow walls reinforced with teme and teme floors. In later times, people started making clay bricks and roof tiles in mostly smaller steppes, which were fired with the wood available in the area. Clay reinforced with straw and manure was excellent for bricklaying. Even fireproof ovens for baking bread were built in this way. Tea was also extracted at this location for the construction of farms and other buildings in the area. In the forest behind it, the contours of the wells can still be seen. The nearby Lankveidweg was formerly called "Stenebane". This name is probably historically linked to this place where bricks were baked. Due to industrialization, such small-scale facilities disappeared and building materials were imported from elsewhere. Before the Water Board in the Achterhoek started to regulate water management, this area was an ideal ice skating rink during frost, where many people from Tussender learned to ice skate. It was therefore a popular meeting place during this period. This was also an important location for harvesting split wood for making stones and wickerwork for baskets. The Black calls for a special tree that can do good Dealing with moisture occurs in several places. Reason enough for the Landscape Questionnder project group to build a shelter here at this special place. So that those seeking relaxation can enjoy the area with its beautiful flora and fauna in peace. give feedback
