concrete
Beton and Mörtel are mixtures that become hard when used in construction. Beton is a solid building material used for structural components, while Mörtel mainly joins stones or bricks and fills joints. For a wall, Beton can therefore form the structural element, while Mörtel holds the individual stones together.
