Industrial photographer WOLFRAM SCHROLL photographed for the Wittekind cement plant in Erwitte. A particularly special feature of the Wittekind cement plant is how it utilizes the combustible fractions from household and commercial waste as secondary energy. By doing so, the Wittekind cement plant contributes to the conservation of fossil fuels and therefore also makes a significant contribution to protecting the environment.
“I have seen this plant already again and again for years. If you are driving in the direction of Kassel on the A44, you can hardly miss it – one of the four cement plants there is the WITTEKIND plant of the Miebach Group.” WOLFRAM SCHROLL tells GoSee.
For the image pool of the Miebach Group, industry photographer Wolfram Schroll was commissioned to shoot on location.
Wolfram Schroll : “This was my first cement plant, and I was struck by utter awe when I saw the dimensions of the site. I cement plant is a factory running 24/7 – the machines really never stop. Following a first location check, it was time for the final shoot on a long day with plenty of kilometers to cover.”
The motifs we present on GoSee.News to give you a basic idea range from the giant rotary kiln to the intricate test lab.
The Portland cement plant of Wittekind Hugo Miebach Söhne KG has around 165 employees working at the site in Erwitte. With one rotary kiln and ten shaft kilns, the cement plant has a total approved capacity of 3,500 tons of cement clinker production per day. The Wittekind Portland cement plant is part of the Miebach group of companies, which is active among others in the fields of welding machines, transformers and electrical machinery, switchgear and assembly. Since 1929, the cement division has been involved in the production of various cements, special products for road and building construction, and customized special cements.

About WOLFRAM SCHROLL
Lube oil rather than hair spray, blue collar rather than haute couture, preferably the smell of steel to the waft of perfume. No models, no cool locations, just raw reality. I love my work - industrial photography. And I love the noise and the heat, the weirdness of the production lines, sometimes all a bit menacing. The people, salt of the earth, uncomplicated. And the permanent challenge of getting photos out of the dark production halls and complex machinery, photos that deserve the word picture. On behalf of customers, taking photos of machines that look as expensive as they actually are. Here at this website, you can sample of my latest work from the worlds of steel, paper, machine construction and medical technology....and of the people who work there.
