Translations:Die Carlshütte - das erste Eisenwerk im Dänischen Gesamtstaat/3/en
The conditions are promising. The Danish state as a whole has no iron production industry. The raw material iron ore is available in the country in the form of grass iron ore. This is ore that does not have to be extracted by mining, but occurs at the roots of the grass. And Büdelsdorf is conveniently situated, as it were between Schleswig and Holstein on the northern bank of the Eider Canal, which connects the North Sea and the Baltic Sea.
Commemorative plaque for the laying of the foundation stone with the inscription: "On 19 April 1827, Marie Holler, née Bruhn, laid the foundation stone of this first building of the Carl Ironworks in faithful and unforgettable memory". In the foreground two poodles from 1836 cast at the Carlshütte.
The Carlshütte after a few years of prosperity and expansion. Behind the carriage in the centre of the picture, the smelter road can be seen. On the left edge of the picture you can still see a piece of the site where ACO was located from 1946.
