Alfs Patent Alpine Moräne

UPPER RHINE – ALPINE MORAINE

Several million years ago, glaciers moved slowly and inexorably from the central foothills of the Alps down into the Bay of Basel. This was the Würm Ice Age, and for many thousands of years enormous quantities of rock were pushed metre by metre the long way down into the valley. As it was washed out and sieved, only the really hard, frost-resistant crystalline stones could survive this natural selection. Gravel and high-grade chippings are extracted from these, which are ideal for concrete and asphalt construction use. Heinz Alfs registered “ALPINE MORÄNE” as a trademark for these high-quality chippings at the German Patent Office in 1961. Today, this name still stands for the highest quality.
