The glassworks was founded in 1949 as a branch of the Heinz-Glas company. From 1970 onwards, the factory was only a brown glassworks operation. On January 1, 1989, the glassworks in Schleiden was sold to the then "Nienburger Glas". Around 110 employees produced mainly wine, sparkling wine and champagne bottles on two production lines from a melting tank. The Schleiden factory was closed at the end of 2008 and production was relocated to Germersheim, 300 km away. Source: Wikipedia

Small industrial site. The path runs along the back of the site and offers a good overview of the old glassworks
