In eastern Germany, a traditional craft has been kept alive by two brothers. They produce charcoal using a method that has been practiced for hundreds of years in the Harz mountain region. The process involves stacking beech wood in a mound and allowing it to smolder for weeks.

The brothers, Immo and Sascha Feldmer, took over the charcoal production business from their father. They use traditional earthen kilns to make the charcoal. Further details about their business and the charcoal-making process are available from the source.

The Feldmer brothers' efforts help preserve a centuries-old tradition in the Harz Mountains. For more information, readers can refer to the original report.
