STASSFURT

This article appears in Volume V25, Page 799 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: SOU-STE
STASSFURT , a town of Germany, in the Prussian province of Saxony, and one of the
chief
  seats of the German salt-producing industry, situated on both sides of the Bode, 20 m. S.W. of Magdeburg by the railway to Aschersleben. Pop. (1905), 18,310. It is still surrounded in
part
  by the ruins of its ancient walls, but, with the exception of the parish
church
  of St John (15th century), there are no buildings worthy of
special
  notice: Although saline springs are mentioned here as early as the 13th century, the first attempt to bore for salt was not made until 1839, while the systematic exploitation of the salt-beds, to which the town is indebted for its prosperity,
dates
  only from i856. The shafts reached deposits of salt at a depth of 85o ft.; but the finer and purer layers lie more than 'too ft. below the surface. Besides the
rock
 -salt, which is excavated by
blasting
 ; the saline deposits of Stassfurt yield a considerable quantity of deliquescent salts and other saline products, which have encouraged the
foundation
  of numerous chemical factories in the town and in the neighbouring
village
  of Leopoldshall, which lies in Anhalt territory. The
rock
 -salt works are mainly government property, while the chemical factories are in private hands.

 , Geschichte des koniglichen Salzwerks zu Stassfurt (Berlin, 1901).
