This is actually German Ceramic (NOT Granite) Factory, Hervest-Dorsten, later Röchling, Dorsten that, in 1927, became Buderus AG, Wetzlar 11. In the years 1962-1989 it was with Avignon Anlagen, Wetzar in the same identity and in 1989 was purchased by the local authority. In 1994 it was displayed outside the Bf (station) in Wetzlar entitled “EDELSTAHL BUDERUS 2” and, in 2002, was re-placed in Am Taubenstein, Wetzlar.
