Tradition of chimney construction
The long tradition of chimney construction at Wayss & Freytag has its origin in 1911. However, until 1929 the chimneys were built with moulded bricks up to a height of 124 m due to a lack of appropriate formwork systems.
First calculation methods for chimney construction can be traced back to Emil Mörsch and Karl Deininger, both of which were head of “Technical Department”, as it is called today, for many years and later professors at the Technical University in Stuttgart.
