Thank you Ruben. My first guess was pre war, but the charging system looks too modern for that era.Good to see it preserved including most relevant parts and not only a "naked" furnace.
Greetings Harald

Looks like a quite sensible preservation. Good to see it preserved. Do you know the date of construction?
