Ziegeleimuseum Lage-Hagen

NOTE: The container is since June 09 *not* hidden at the same place where ist was before - but only a few centimeters away. A phone joker is only a bit helpful...

Our third cache will lead you to a museum that most of you neither know nor visited. The old brickyard near to the city of Lage, in the district Hagen.

An overview about this areas can be found at: (visit link)

The brickyard is also part of the "European Route of Industrial Heritage" (ERIH), see here: (visit link)

A short note about the history of the brickyard:
It was working from 1909 to 1979, then the clay mine that supplied the material was exhausted and the production had to be stopped. In 1982 the LWL took over the brickyard with all the machinery and even the company´s archive, and after extensive restoring the museum was opened. More details and also actual dates and events can be found on the website mentioned above.
By the way, there is a nice little cafe in the museum, which can be visited without entering the museum (and paying for entry). So, if you find yourself sitting around on a boring sunday afternoon - why not visit the museum, have a tea or coffee there and search (and find) the cache?!
The brickyard can also easyly be reached from the train station in Lage by bus (Line 748) or by bicycle, a bicycle lane is directly in front of the area.

Beware: Be *very* careful when searching, recovering and putting back the the cache container and try not to be noticeable, as there are nearly always muggles around (at least when the museum is opened) who will keep an eye on you. Please put back the cache at exactly the place where you found it!
The museum´s area must not be entered.
Please bring along a pencil.

Please notice: The cache is not hidden at or in the machine shown in the picture!
