Stock Photo - 09 August 2022, Saxony, Eisenhammer: In her charcoal kiln Eisenhammer in the Düben Heath, charcoal burner Norma Austinat carries finished barbecue charcoal into her warehouse. Due to the long-lasting high summer temperatures since May, there is also a very high demand for barbecue charcoal in her charcoal kiln. The former project manager, who moved from the big city to the countryside a few years ago, runs the centuries-old traditional charcoal burning workshop here as manager and charcoal burner and wants to preserve one of the oldest craft techniques for future generations. The beech charcoal is produced by hand using a unique industrial plant built between 1970 and 1980 and in refractory concrete kilns. The charcoal-making craft was included in the list of Germany's intangible cultural heritage in 2014. Photo: Waltraud Grubitzsch/dpa. - Eisenhammer/Saxony/Germany
