After the clay has been mined, the strand has been pressed, and the cakes have been cut and dried, the green bricks go into the ring kiln. In the ring kiln, the fire runs once around in eight days. The green bricks are placed in two chambers and the fired bricks are removed, while in the other 12 chambers they are preheated, fired and cooled.

We are now the only scientists in Germany to use the medium of film specifically for research and presentation. The approximately 260 film productions made over the past decades are irreplaceable documents of lost knowledge about 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 lives. This results in films on intercultural phenomena and problems, on changes in the 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. You can find the complete film catalogue on our homepage under Everyday Culture - Films. ► https://rheinische-landeskunde.lvr.de
