After the introduction of the market economy in East Germany – an economy that thrives on wear and tear and consumption – production was discontinued. It was also time-consuming and expensive. The improved process from Freiberg combines the old chemical process with another hardening process. According to Martin Groß, this gives the treated glass four times the strength of conventional glass. Jacob Herenz, content creator and budding glassmaker, and engineer Matthias Seel from TU Darmstadt are testing the potential of this process and whether it can survive on the market in the future.
