Translations:Die Carlshütte - das erste Eisenwerk im Dänischen Gesamtstaat/2/en
Markus Hartwig Holler, born in Rendsburg in 1796, took over his father's timber business in Büdelsdorf at the age of 20. Büdelsdorf, neighbouring the fortress town of Rendsburg, belonged to the Duchy of Schleswig, which in turn belonged to the Danish state. This also applies to the Duchy of Holstein, which borders directly to the south and is also part of the German Confederation.
Markus Hartwig Holler, the founder of the Carlshütte.
Marie Holler, the wife of Markus Hartwig Holler, who laid the foundation stone for the establishment of the Carlshütte on 19 April 1827.
The timber trade does not fulfil the far-sighted Markus Hartwig Holler. He travels a lot, for example to Sweden, where he visits ironworks and foundries. Inspired by this, he wants to switch from wood to iron and sets himself the goal of founding an ironworks and foundry. His motivation is to create something "non-profit" and "unprecedented".
