More Over
The Friedewald red sandstone is particularly valued for design with natural stone due to its characteristic colours and texture, but above all because of its proven, frost-proof quality. Numerous historical objects bear witness to this. Its good physical and technical properties allow it to be used both indoors and outdoors. Tested and confirmed weather resistance is also an important criterion here.
The quarries of the Friedewald red sandstone have been mined for several centuries.
The regional Friedewald red sandstone is a particularly sustainable building material.
