When coke was produced, water containing phenol was produced, which was cleaned in the towers with the help of bacteria. The coking plant itself is no longer there. Only the towers have been preserved and can be viewed as part of the International Building Exhibition IBA-See. One of the towers is accessible and offers a view of the surrounding land from two glass pulpits at a height of 22 meters. They are a unique building in terms of industrial history and are also nicknamed "Castel del Monte der Lausitz".
