Description

Cargadero de la Compañía Minerales de Hierro de Galicia, junto al Puente de Rande, en Redondela (Pontevedra). Durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial, desde este lugar salía mineral de hierro procedente de unas minas de Monforte con destino a Alemania, donde era usado por la industria armamentística nazi. El propietario de la compañía y vicecónsul de Alemania en Monforte, Friedrich Wilhelm Cloos, murió en Monforte de Lemos el 22 de septiembre de 1949, siendo enterrado en Vigo. El cargadero de mineral, construido en 1925, fue abandonado, desmontando y su parte metálica vendida como chatarra en la década de 1950. Lo que queda del cargadero está en ruinas.
