Museum of Ceramic and Furnace

In the economic heydey of 1905, Velten had 36 factories. They produced one hundred thousands of masonry stoves for the nearby capital Berlin – the famous white Berlin stoves. Today only the furnace factory Schmidt, Lehmann Velten is leftover. On its premises you find the Museum of Ceramic and Furnace.
