Set Saltworks "Gottesgabe", Rheine, Germany (Saline Gottesgabe, Gradierwerk)

The graduation tower of the historic saltworks „Gottesgabe“ (God's Given) in Rheine-Bentlage, Westfalia, Germany are an impressive example of the early industrial culture of the 18th century.
The 300 metre long Graduate towers were built in 1744 by the famous baroque architect Johann Conrad Schlaun (see my Bishop palace of Münster in my workshop ;). Most parts of the plant was destroyed during storms in the 1940. Today is only a small part left and another small part was recontructed in 1960s. My set is modular so you can decide if you want to have the original version or the version of today (or a kilometre long version, its your choice). As an extra I put on this set next to the middle and endparts of the graduation towers also the sole tower and a roofed revervoir basin.

I spend a lot of work and time into modelling. It's a passion, but I would be very pleased to get some donations for my work :)
