In Hasselfelde, Germany, two brothers are keeping an ancient tradition alive by working as traditional charcoal burners in a local forest. Immo Feldmer initiated the process by carefully tipping smoldering charcoal into a tall mound of earth.
The practice represents a continuation of historical coal-burning methods in the region. By tending to these earthen mounds, the brothers preserve crafts and techniques from the past within the modern German landscape.
