There are still a few oven builders in Bell today. The basis for the craft was a tufa of volcanic origin that the Bell oven builders quarried in open-cast mining; the deep quarries still bear witness to this today. In the Bell oven workshop, the oven builders extract the tufa blocks by chipping, wedging and lifting them up with a crane. At the hut, the blocks are cut up and hewn Digitized by @zweitkanalalltagskultureni2140 ▬ Information about us ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ The LVR Institute for Regional Studies and Regional History For almost five decades, we have been recording everyday life in the Rhineland in moving images. We are now the only scientists in Germany to use the medium of film specifically for research and presentation. The approximately 260 film productions that have been made in recent decades are irreplaceable documents of lost knowledge from agriculture, crafts, industrial work and the diverse regional customs. Today we use the medium of film primarily to document current processes of change and to accompany people in the Rhineland in their life contexts. This results in films on intercultural phenomena and problems, on the changing world of work, on new forms of social coexistence and on dealing with rituals, customs and traditions. All film documentaries from the LVR Institute for Regional Studies and Regional History are also available on DVD. The complete film catalog can be found on our homepage under Everyday Culture - Films. ► https://rheinische-landeskunde.lvr.de
