The Königshütte in BadLauterberg was erected as the third state Iron works after the Rothehütte and the Sollinger Hütte in the years 1733 to 1737.
Located at the small town Lauterberg, the Oder and the Wiesenbecker pond provided the wheels mostly with enough impact water for the wheels for the bellow‘s drive, the ore crushing machine, for the light and heavy hammers.
Another reason for the site was the richness of wood of the Lauterberger Forest as the melting works needed masses of hard charcoal (made from beech) and soft charcoal (sprucewood).
