Saale Bridge at the Blankenberg Paper Mill

Highlight • Bridge

Ferdinand Traugott Flinsch introduced mechanical papermaking in Blankenberg in 1843. Parchment paper and printing paper were still produced in this Thuringian town on the Saale River until 1993. Today, you can learn more about that era in a museum.
