was lived back then, still

relatively very modest, simp

is very important, I believ

a goal. The goal was, of co

the good of the company, an

y workedised had in top was

n in the steelworks was of c

ourse incredibly hard, you h

ad to transport everything b

y hand, so while today you c

an move 3-4 tons of lime int

o the smelter with the push

of a button, people used to

do it with a shovel and walk

in a circle for 8 hours and

in front of the hot furnace

, then back into the cold in

front of the hot furnace, a

nd there was already someone

who could throw ore, which

was very special because if

he had such a shovel I threw

ore into the furnace then a

flame came out and D with t

he shovel of lime came, he a

lways had the flame in front

of his face, meaning there

was a hierarchy where even p

eople who had something very

special instead of limeston

e shovels were considered sp

ecial, and the smelters were

addressed as such. So it wa

s a truly closed circle. The

hierarchy further away, for

example, when he was 50 yea

rs old, it was the smelter w

ho was in C AC. The chapter

smelter and but direct proce

sses were such that the smel

ter's responsibility was dir

ectly with the high-rise and

the entire surrounding area

. Tapping was the opening an

d closing of the blast furna

ce. All the work involved th

e reworking of the flue syst

ems, always renewed because

after each descent, iron and

slag had accumulated on the

sides. This had to be remov

ed after each descent, so it

had to be broken up. That h

appened back then with steel

bars and hammers and you we

ren't allowed to stand right

next to the screed for more

than half a minute otherwis

e your clothes would already

be in flames so that you na

turally develop a feel for w

hen you have to get away fro

m the screed again so that n

othing bad happens and if th

e work wasn't done yet, then

the colleague was there who

continued it, so always you

had to be incredibly carefu
