Kludekogeren by Græshoppebroen in Karrebæksminde comes from Maglemølle Paper Mill. It was used to sort and clean rags before later being used for mooring ships.
Kludekogeren, which stands by Græshoppe bridge in Karrebæksminde, comes from the former Maglemølle Paper Mill in Næstved. Because of its shape, it is occasionally mistaken for a wartime mine.
Kludekogeren is one of two that were manufactured in Copenhagen in 1873. They were used at Maglemølle Paper Mill to sort and clean rags.
When a better way of cleaning the raw material was found, Kludekogeren was taken out of production. It was later used for mooring barges and larger ships in Karrebæksminde Outer Harbour.
Even with a 5,000 kg anchor, Kludekogeren could occasionally be dragged across the seabed.
Kludekogeren was sandblasted and painted in 2001.
