Photo de stock - 09 August 2022, Saxony, Eisenhammer: In her Eisenhammer charcoal kiln in the Düben Heath, charcoal burner Norma Austinat uses a chain saw to cut beech logs that have been stored for a year to produce barbecue charcoal in the kilns. 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
