A look at Roman quicklime production
Visit one of the most important archaeological sites from Roman times north of the Alps, the Roman lime kiln in Iversheim. It was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List in July 2021. Roman building sites required large quantities of building lime for the production of mortar, which was distilled from limestone or dolomite. The northern foothills of the Kalkeifel near Iversheim were the closest quarrying area to the Roman building sites in the towns and military camps on the Rhine.
