ROTHSCHILD'S IRON WORKS

rothschild

 

Already then the mill had the primacy of the first coke blast furnace in the Habsburg Empire (1836). Thanks to Bank house of the Rothschild family the iron works developed and extended the production programme. In the mechanic workshops for repairing machines, new engineering works, bridge construction and boiler construction departments were created, where steam engines, mining equipment, equipment for iron, steel and rolling mills, girders, railway wheels and switches were manufactured. The new factory hall called after Salomon's son Anselm Foundry was constructed due to high demand for rails. The owner built two storey empire style chateau near both foundries which became a seat of general directors in 1847.
