Rendbjerg Brickworks

The buildings have been demolished and the site is now used as a summer camp by Esbjerg Municipality.

Hans Heinrich Dithmer, a son of the vicar in Broager, acquired the brickyard in 1805.

In 1822, Dithmer went to Germany and the Netherlands on a travel stipend from Frederick VI.

This inspired him to make hard-burnt, waterproof floor tiles.

Hans Heinrich Dithmer Jr. went bankrupt in 1883 but the brickyard was then continued by new owners.
