Pepp Inger Farmers' Museum

By 2000, around a large slag heap from the 7th or 8th century, was found in the Genoeserbësch Pepp Inger ban, which turned out to be the basis of a racing furnace. The iron smelter was reconstructed according to old models and reconstructed in the Forest Forge of Pepp Inger peasant museum, which had been fully excavated by members of the University of Münster. According to history professor Norbert Quintus, curator of the museum, the slag was analyzed in its composition; the Musée de l' histoire du fer found out that the former iron producers had used both Minette as well as high-grade ore, which probably came from the area around Dudelange or Rumelange. Since in the smelting furnace used at that time only temperatures of about 1,100 degrees were obtained, the iron was obtained as a billet; this had to be heated again after the piercing of the furnace in a " finer " and then edited on a stone anvil with a hammer. The iron thus obtained could then be processed into devices or weapons. One such attempt with the mock race furnace was successfully undertaken by historians friends from the Roeserbann and the brotherhood of Hephaestus (Luxembourg ironwork Association ).
