brick kiln foreman
my 1901 Muret-Sanders refers to a Brennmeister as a 'foreman', whether in a distillery or brick kiln

Anyone interested in old dictionaires should check out German Ebay. The one-volume German-English or English-German Muret Sanders of 1905 or 1910 can usually be had for under 20 euros. However, the 4-volume (2xEngl.-Ger., 2x Ger.-Engl.) are much harder to come by.
Here a few examples:
