This hall was part of a large chemical factory which settled here in the 20th century. The large factory occupies more than 10 hectares and even had its own power plant.
During the years, the plant had a couple of difficult periods; due to a decline in sales the production had to be scaled down and a few subsidiary companies were sold off. Bombing by the Germans in the Second World War even caused a total production stop. The factory switched owners several times and eventually closed down in the 70’s.
This hall is one of the many abandoned buildings on the premises. The machines in this hall were used to extract nitrogen from air. Some other halls are now being used for storage and one opened up for a sports club.
The municipality wants to open up more parts of the plant and perhaps start a museum here, since this factory had an important role in the history of the area. But for now, the hall will remain in silence.
